Subject: What are the official rules of computer chess?

In the real world, there are FIDE rules, there are USCF rules, and there are
chess rules for a lot of other countries.

However, is there an official body for chess rules for computer programs?

Or, should a computer program be made aware by the operator as to which type of
tournament it is playing under (and the rules thereof) and therefore should play
accordingly?

Is there any governing body on this? Has this been addressed before?

Is there a standard by which the programs should be programmed?

Thanks for any info,

KarinsDad :)
