Michel Van den Bergh's professional interests in mathematics is supplemented by chess and computer chess programming. He worked on [[Toga|Toga II]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX Posix]] ports <ref>[http://hardy.uhasselt.be/Toga/posix_versions/ Posix ports of some recent version of Toga II] by [[Michel Van den Bergh]]</ref>, on [[icsdrone]], an interface between an ICS ([[Chess Server|Internet Chess Server]]) and a chess engine supporting the [[Chess Engine Communication Protocol]] <ref>[http://hardy.uhasselt.be/Toga/icsdroneng-release/OVERVIEW.txt icsdroneng - Interface between an xboard chess engine and an ICS]</ref>, and made an attempt to transform [[GNU Chess]] into a modern Chess Engine Communication Protocol compliant engine. He is in the process to improve version 5 with various [[Static Exchange Evaluation|SEE]] based [[Pruning|pruning]] techniques and optimizations, where SEESign is faster to determine if the SEE value is below some threshold than computing its actual value <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?topic_view=threads&p=514587 Re: GNU Chess 5.07.175b released] by [[Michel Van den Bergh]], [[CCC]], April 14, 2013</ref>, and further applied [[Automated Tuning|parameter tuning]] using [[Rémi Coulom|Rémi Coulom's]] [[CLOP]], Confident Local Optimization for Noisy Black-Box Parameter Tuning <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47776 GNU Chess 5.07.175b released] by [[Michel Van den Bergh]], [[CCC]], April 13, 2013</ref>.
