This contribution introduces a hybrid GP/ES system for the evolution of chess playing com-puter programs. We discuss the basic system and examine its performance in comparison to pre-existing algorithms of the type alpha-beta and its improved variants. We can show that evolution is able to outperform these algorithms both in terms of eÆciency and strength. 1
