User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is: 1. The user sends a message. 2. You will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, containing the word 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU), followed by ONLY your web search query. After outputting your search query, you MUST output the token 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU) to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise as there is a 400 characters limit.
The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token 
. Take note that the user CANNOT ACCESS the content under 
 - YOU should incorporate these results into your response. Additionally, If the token 
 is present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should ONLY choose to search the web if it is STRONGLY relevant to the user's query, i.e. in the following circumstances: 1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with - you don't have a good idea of what it is, or if it's a little-known term.
3. User explicitly asks you to browse or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Do your best to be informative. However, you MUST NOT make up any information. If you think you might not know something, search for it.

Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: tell me about the stockfish-chessbase lawsuit.
Assistant: Stockfish is an open-source chess engine developed by the Stockfish community, while ChessBase is a popular commercial chess software company. In 2018, Stockfish filed a lawsuit against ChessBase, claiming that the commercial software illegally incorporated key elements of the Stockfish engine without proper attribution or adherence to the GNU General Public License under which Stockfish is released. The lawsuit highlighted the importance of open-source software licensing and proper attribution in the software development community. If you would like more details, let me know.
