The creator of God's Chosen Operating System, TempleOS, and God's chosen High Priest, Terry Davis, has created a chess engine.
TempleOS link: http://www.templeos.org
His chess engine: http://www.templeos.org/Wb/Accts/TS/Wb2 ... Chess.html
He wrote his own compiler, and programming language, HolyC. So the syntax will be mostly familiar to C/C++ programmers, with some customizations.
Also, read his rants pages. He seems fascinated with Magnus and Kasparov.

I would not suggest engaging him in dialogue, it gets ugly quickly and he gets banned at most sites for his rants. He is a diagnosed schizophrenic...I think perhaps he is genius level programmer, but tormented by his illness.
Just my .02...

Re: Chess Engine by the World's Greatest Programmer
It occurred to me that I might have put this in the wrong place. I honestly just wanted to put his code up here for people to look at since he published it on his site. I don't think it can be run outside of his operating system, but the basic idea of what the code is doing is present for us to look at. Also, I did not come up with those titles nor was I being sarcastic, they are all titles he uses to describe himself.

thanks for the link. The program looks like doing a fixed-depth 3-ply full-width minimax search (no alpha-beta) plus further 2-ply minimax qsearch with material only + something like mobility. But it seems to have some sort of SMP concept at least. I did not check other details like move ordering but obviously there is nothing like TT, null move etc. in it.

Cool. Looks like he'll make an account here soon.
The God stuff much looks like a running gag that got way out of hand between him, and him. (..and him.)

Hmmm....genius and madness? (and Magnus!) go hand in hand? Reminds me of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser

Re: Chess Engine by the World's Greatest Programmer
Apparently he contacted Garry Kasparov at his website regarding the chess engine he wrote and how he wanted Garry to contribute to work on God's Temple. It got him banned. That happens a lot to him. He is banned on OSDev and several Reddit groups.
