CHEOPS (CHEss OPponent Simulator) is a fully-functional chess program capable of human-vs-human, human-vs-computer, and computer-vs-computer play. It uses a 64-square linear array board representation. The game tree search is alpha–beta, and the static evaluation function considers material, mobility, and motif features.
