Waiting for Godot [1]

Godot,
a didactic open source chess engine by Ulysse Carion, written in Java, and licensed under the GNU General Public License. Godot was subject of a project work Creating a Chess-Playing Computer Program at La Jolla High School in 2013 [2], with which he participated in the Senior Division of Mathematics & Software of the 2013 California State Science Fair [3], honorable mentioned [4]. While the goal was to create an original program that uses a carefully-selected combination of the hundreds of ways to assault the challenge of teaching a computer to play chess [5], a large amount of Godot's code is based on Stef Luijten's Winglet and Alberto Ruibal's Carballo.
