'''Numpty chess''',<br/>
a free [[Chess Engine Communication Protocol]] (aka [[WinBoard]]) compatible chess engine by [[Chris Tatham]].
Having initially been started in ''JustBasic'' <ref>[http://justbasic.com/ JustBasic]</ref> it was subsequently translated into,
and developed in [[Basic#FreeBASIC|FreeBASIC]].
Initially released in December 2005, Numpty has always had an [[:Category:Open Source|open source]] code base.
It is a comparatively weak engine, having a primary focus of being a reasonable but beatable opponent to casual and club players
