	I carefully avoid the term 'knowledge based', as I really do not know what it
means. It seems like a hot potato these days.
	But I say 'knowledge program' when I mean a program that has lots of chess
knowledge (other types of knowledge do not seem relevant in this context). This
chess knowldege can be almost everywhere, not only in the evaluation function.
