'''Bionic''', ('''B'''elieve '''i'''t '''o'''r '''n'''ot '''i'''t's [[Checkmate|checkmate]])<br/>
a chess program written in [[Basic]] by [[Hans Secelle]] during the early 90s. Bionic participated at four [[Dutch Open Computer Chess Championship|Dutch Open Computer Chess Championships]], [[DOCCC 1994|1994]], [[DOCCC 1995|1995]], [[DOCCC 1996|1996]] and [[DOCCC 1997|1997]], and three [[Aegon Tournaments]], [[Aegon 1995|1995]], [[Aegon 1996|1996]] and [[Aegon 1997|1997]].
While Bionic was a slow searcher, it was an attempt of a knowledgeable program, inspired from ideas of ''[[Peter van Diepen#SchakenvoorComputers|Schaken voor Computers]]'' by [[Peter van Diepen]] and [[Jaap van den Herik]], and ''[[Hans-Joachim Kraas#Computerschachbuch|Het Computerschaakboek]]'' by [[Hans-Joachim Kraas]], [[Günther Schrüfer]], and Rainer Bartels Bartel <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=40582 Re: Bionic vs Crafty, once again] by [[Đorđe Vidanović]], [[CCC]], January 23, 1999</ref>.
