'''Wii Chess''',<br/>
a chess program for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo Nintendo's] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii Wii] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_console console]. Wii's chess engine is based on [[Loop (Program)|Loop Express]] by [[Fritz Reul]].
In his Ph.D. thesis ''New Architectures in Computer Chess'', Reul mentioned Wii Chess as implementation of Non-Bitboard Architectures based on a [[Vector Attacks#15x12|15x12 Board]] representation due to lower performance and the 32-bit [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_bandwidth bandwidth] of Nintendo’s [[PowerPC#G3|PowerPC 750 CL]] based main processor <ref>[[Fritz Reul]] ('''2009'''). ''New Architectures in Computer Chess''. Ph.D. thesis, 2.2.2 Nintendo Wii Chess, pp. 11</ref>.
Reul further acknowledged thesis supervisor [[Jaap van den Herik]] who set up the contact to Nintendo in 2007, which implemented Reul's source code successfully in Wii Chess <ref>[[Fritz Reul]] ('''2009'''). ''New Architectures in Computer Chess''. Ph.D. thesis, Preface</ref>.
Wii Chess was released on January 18, 2008 in Europe and on September 30, 2008 under the name ''Tsūshin Taikyoku: World Chess'' (通信対局 ワールドチェス) in Japan.
