There are many different types of chess engines. The general categories are by the following types: 1. Winboard/Xboard (Most common, most are free -- a few professional versions) 2. UCI (Second most common, most are free -- many professional versions) 3. ChessBase (Many professional engines use this format) 4. MCI (an older professional version -- not used much amymore) 5.

They are different. >Just curious on what makes them all so unique and possess different strengths. What makes them unique is that different people write them. Some write very good algorithms with very few bugs. These are the strongest engines.
