SMIRF (an acronym for Strategiespielprogramm mit intelligent rückkoppelnden Funktionen) is a Windows chess game. It implements an appropriate innovative variant of an adaptive recursive feedback algorithm. The procedure effectively cuts the search tree both in depth and in width. Creating an optimally efficient chess engine is a touchstone of artificial intelligence research. Thus, this approach is associated with artificial intelligence. The creation of such software is a goal of the SMIRF project.
