[[FILE:Raja Ravi Varma - Sankaracharya.jpg|border|right|thumb|[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adi_Shankara Adi Shankara] with Disciples <ref>Srimad Guru Adi Shankaracharya, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adi_Shankara Adi Shankara] with disciples, by [[Arts#Varma|Raja Ravi Varma]], 1904</ref> ]]
'''Chess Guru''',<br/>
a chess program designed and written by [[Joël Rivat]]. It was runner up at the [[FCCC 1995|1995 French Computer Chess Championship]] (behind [[Virtua Chess]]), and won the [[FCCC 1996|1996 French Computer Chess Championship]]. Chess Guru further competed at the [[WMCCC 1997]].
=Description=
given in 1997 from the [[ICGA]] tournament page <ref>[https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/program.php?id=11 Chess Guru's ICGA Tournaments]</ref> :
A first Chess program was written by C. Marche, G. Le Blanc, and J. Rivat in 1990. With this experience, J. Rivat rewrote everything using [[Bitboards|bitboards]]. After [[Robert Hyatt]] started using bitboards too, long discussions on ics and sharing new ideas permitted to improve considerably the technique.
Chess Guru is a 64 bits intensive program and performs poorly on 32 bits computers. The search algorithm is using [[Principal Variation Search|PVS]] with [[Null Move Pruning|nullmove]], [[Transposition Table|Extended Transposition Table]], [[Refutation Table]], [[Internal Iterative Deepening]], several classical [[Extensions|extensions]] schemes (like [[Check Extensions|incheck extension]], [[Recapture Extensions|recaptures]]). The [[Evaluation|evaluation]] includes development, [[Mobility|mobility]], [[Pawn Structure|pawn structure]] and [[King Safety|king safety]] .
