Notchess was originally written as a sort-of demo program for this module, but it was overtaken by events and a request to enter it in a tournament. Unsurprisingly, since it was only debugged a couple of days before the start, and it had been intended for clarity rather than speed, it came last. The following year, I again received a request to enter Notchess for the so-called `[[UPCCC 1994|Uniform Platform]]' competition, and it won one game and drew a couple, so at least avoided the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooden_spoon_%28award%29 wooden spoon]. However, in the attempt to make it usable for the tournament, clarity suffered, and it is not a program I would commend for style. Some day, I'll get around to re-writing it twice, once for this module and once in an attempt to play well!
