Tom's Simple Chess Program has been written by [[Tom Kerrigan]] in 1997 as a device to show the basics of the chess programming. On its home page <ref>[http://www.tckerrigan.com/Chess/TSCP TSCP - from Tom Kerrigan's Home Page]</ref> one can find not only the program itself, but also a couple of derivatives, like a version with [[Null Move Pruning|null move pruning]] or with a [[Bitboards|bitboard]] move generator. TSCP 1.81 was the test engne in [[Henk Mannen|Mannen's]] and [[Marco Wiering|Wiering's]] computer chess learning experiments, where they trained several different chess [[Evaluation|evaluation]] functions ([[Neural Networks|neural networks]]) by using [[Temporal Difference Learning|TD(λ) learning]] on a set of database games, published in 2004/05 <ref>[[Henk Mannen]], [[Marco Wiering]] ('''2004''').
