I think the term is reasonably clear if you know what "computer" and "chess" mean, so I'm ok with the idea of deleting it.

You reminded me that sometime back I added drawish to the Wiktionary. Someone has since added links and other cleanup, and it's now on allwords.com, too.

Hi, I think it goes a little deeper than that, the question is:

"Is computer chess a word/term that should be in the dictionary."

It seems many of you are dedicated to the word/term computer chess, so I believe that it is incumbent upon us to ensure the word/term computer chess has an entry in Wikitionary and is defined properly.

Cordially,

Sean

There is another word that means exactly the same thing and I believe it would win approval of those in charge. The word is "compuchess".
