I found zero significant coverage. Non-notable software. SL93 (talk) 20:57, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Delete. The nominator seems to be right. (And except for one very minor edit, the editor that created the article is a single-purpose editor.) Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 03:31, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. No independent coverage. The sole claim to importance, being the shortest source code for a non-trivial chess engine, lacks verification. Furthermore, chess engines are of interest for their strength, not the shortness of the source code, so even if the record is true, the record is of dubious significance.

Delete per above. —Ed!^(talk) 17:57, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
Do Not Delete. Minimalism in chess programming (including but not limited to shortness of source code) is an interesting and important research problem in engineering and computer science. The work of Harm Geert Muller (including the Micro-Max engine) should be considered a notable contribution to such research. A better alternative to deletion would be to expand or merge this article to widen the scope of discussion - see Wikipedia article Toledo Nanochess. Oldsalo (talk) 11:36, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
