[[FILE:Kladderadatsch 1875 - Zwischen Berlin und Rom.png|border|right|thumb| [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulturkampf Between Berlin and Rome] <ref>Caricature "Between Berlin and Rome" by [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Scholz_%28Karikaturist%29 Wilhelm Scholz], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kladderadatsch Kladderadatsch], May 16, 1875. The caption reads: ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Pius_IX Pope]:) "The last move was certainly very unpleasant for me; but that doesn't yet mean the game is lost. I have one more very fine move up my sleeve!" ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_von_Bismarck Bismarck]:) "It will also be the last, and then you are mated in a few moves - at least for Germany." Note the caricaturist's error in orienting the chessboard by placing white squares on players' left.

'''Bismark''',<br/>
an [[UCI]] compliant [[:Category:Open Source|open source chess engine]] by [[Evgeny Shtranvasser]], written in [[Cpp|C++]], recent version hosted by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitbucket Bitbucket] <ref>[https://bitbucket.org/jackalsh/bismark/src/master/ jackalsh / Bismark — Bitbucket]</ref>.
Bismark's board is represented as two-dimensional [[8x8 Board|8x8]] [[Array|array]] of [[Squares|squares]] and a [[Piece-Lists|vector of pieces]].
The engine applies [[Negamax|negamax]] [[Alpha-Beta|alpha-beta]] [[Principal Variation Search|PVS]] with [[Null Move Pruning|null move pruning]], [[Transposition Table|transposition table]] and a pure capture [[Quiescence Search|quiescence search]] within the [[Iterative Deepening|iterative deepening]] loop. Beside [[Material|material]] as dominating term, Bismark's [[Evaluation|evaluation]] aggregates values of [[Middlegame|middlegame]] and [[Endgame|endgame]] [[Piece-Square Tables|piece-square tables]] along with [[King Safety#KingTropism|king tropism]], finally [[Tapered Eval|tapered]] by current [[Game Phases|game phase]] using [[Float|float arithmetic]]. Further, Bismark considers various [[Pawn Structure|pawn structure]] terms, with appropriate bonuses for [[Passed Pawn|passers]] and [[Candidate Passed Pawn|candidates]] and penalties for [[Doubled Pawn|doubled pawns]] and [[Pawn Islands|islands]], as well as beneficial piece positions such as [[Outposts|knight outposts]], [[Rook on Open File|rook on open or semi-open file]] and [[Bishop Pair|bishop pair]] <ref>Description based on the sources of Bismark 1.3</ref>.
