This is important because it is the first time a major software player in the chess world has released a version of its chess engine for Linux and the general public.

    ...has released a version of it's chess engine for Linux ...

    This is a common error that I see more and more on the Interweb. It's getting annoying, so I will explain:

    A ' replaces something that we are too lazy to type, so it's means it is. If you are talking about a part or a property of something, you use its, not it's.

    I hope this is clear to everybody. This was a free lesson to improve your English, brought to you by tsa from Holland.
