At the time I worked with Knowledge based systems (or programs) we used something like this as a definition: A computer system that imitates human problem-solving by using a "knowledge database". The knowledge database is a set of "knowledge chunks" expressed using some formal knowledge representation language. This or some similar defintition is commonly used within the AI community. At least it was some years ago. The idea is to capture the knowledge from experts, express it in the knowledge represenatation language and put in the knowledge database. The knowledge database was later searched in runtime by the program to find out what to do. I know of no chess program that uses this approach and that plays descent chess. IMHO, assuming that the definition still holds, it is not a good idea to use a different definition for knowledge based chess programs visavi knowledge based programs in general. //Peter
