'''IsiChess''',<br/>
a commercial [[MS-DOS|DOS]] chess program by [[Gerd Isenberg]], distributed exclusively by [[Martin Stamer|Martin Stamer's]] EuroChess Zentrale from 1994 until 1997.
It had an own [[GUI]], and was able to play simultaneously with up to ten board windows. While the GUI was written with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borland Borland] [[Cpp|C++]], the engine was written in [[x86|80386]] 32-bit [[Assembly|assembly]], applying a kind of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_multitasking cooperative multitasking] using a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroutine coroutine].
In a special mode, IsiChess switched to the so called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreal_mode unreal mode] to allocate more physical [[Memory|memory]] for [[Transposition Table|transposition tables]], the DOS operating system was aware of.
The private [[Windows]] version, developed since 2000, was a complete rewrite influenced by [[Robert Hyatt|Robert Hyatt's]] [[Rotated Bitboards]] paper <ref>[[Robert Hyatt|Hyatt, R. M.]] ('''1999'''). ''Rotated Bitmaps, a New Twist on an Old Idea''. [[ICGA Journal#22_4|ICCA Journal, Vol. 22, No. 4]]</ref>.
In the following years IsiChess evolved to a pure [[Fill Algorithms|fill based]] approach, motivated by the ideas of [[Steffan Westcott]]. The [[Thread|multi-treaded]] [[Search|search]] used a [[Shared Hash Table|shared]] [[Transposition Table|transposition table]].

from the [[ICGA]] tournament site <ref>[https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/program.php?id=17 IsiChess' ICGA Tournaments]</ref>:
==1999==
In 1991 I started to write my first [[Cpp|C++]] Project, a Class-Lib for a [[MS-DOS|DOS]]-Window-Manager-Interface. Inspired from [[David Levy|David Levy's]] [[Computer Chess Compendium]] (specially the article about [[Chess (Program)|Chess 4.5]]), I started to write a chess-algorithm in bottom-up manner (beginning with data structures like [[Piece-Sets|piece-sets]] and [[Bitboards|bitboards]] and fast [[Assembly|assembler]] routines to modify them). Two [[Incremental Updates|incremental updated]] redundant sets PIECESET _ControlledBy[64] for each square and BITBOARD _ControllTo[32] for each piece are used for move generation and evaluation purposes. The Search is a standard [[Alpha-Beta|alpha-beta]] [[Principal Variation Search|Null-window search]] with [[Iterative Deepening]] and several threat extensions and [[Null Move Pruning|Null move]]. Standard Heuristics like [[Killer Heuristic|Killer]] and [[History Heuristic|History]] are used. The Leaf-[[Evaluation]] performs several tasks like extension-detection ([[King Safety|King danger]], [[Passed Pawn|passed pawns]] ) and several [[Mate at a Glance|Mate in one detections]]. With my own C++ Class-library an implementation of a [[GUI|graphical user interface]] for the chess program was an quite easy task - IsiChess was born. Special Feature is the ability to play simultaneously with up to ten chessboards in separate windows.
==2007==
[[Bitboards|Bitboard]] engine based on MMX-flood-fills. Conventional [[Alpha-Beta|alpha-beta]] searcher ([[Principal Variation Search|PVS]]), [[Null Move Pruning#AdaptiveNullMovePruning|adaptive nullmove]] with [[Null Move Pruning#ZugzwangVerification|zugzwang verification]], sophisticated [[Extensions|extension]] and [[Reductions|reduction]] code as well as [[Evaluation|evaluation]], [[Mate at a Glance|static mate detection]]. Own [[GUI]]. Own [[Opening Book|opening book]] format (ASCII readable) - all lines manually edited over the years.
=Tournaments=
From 1994 until its last occurrence in 1997 Dos-IsiChess participated four times at the [[Aegon Tournaments|Aegon Man-Machine Tournaments]] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hague The Hague], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands The Netherlands].
Gerd Isenberg had the pleasure to operate IsiChess to play the IGMs [[John Nunn]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Christiansen Larry Christiansen], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lembit_Oll Lembit Oll], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Ree Hans Ree] and [http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friso_Nijboer Friso Nijboer].
IsiChess, until 1999 the [[MS-DOS|DOS]]-Program, participated at various [[World Computer Chess Championship|World-]] and [[World Microcomputer Chess Championship|World Microcomputer Chess Championships]], best result was 7th from 18 in 2002 and 6 out of 11 in 2004.
