I digged it out from the dust and the article was: "First Steps in Computer Chess Programming" BYTE October 1978. and the program described is written in Z-80 assembler. If you still are interested and mail me your physical address so... But the link you got seems to cover it all. I mixed up this aticle with another one from Oct 1978 - Jan 1979: "Creating a Chess Player" Peter Frew and Larry Atkin. The program here was Chess 0.5 in Pasacal inspired from Chess 4.5. I have that too on paper. :-) /Peter
