A correction: the above percentages were only for the first of five groups of the 92 positions. For all 92 positions, the performance results were: Paradise (Wilkins): 97% Chess 4.4 (Slate and Atkin): 83% Class A human (Berliner): 83% Tech (Gillogly): 61% Caps (Berliner): 59% Not too shabby program performance for the late 1970s. >In other words, they cherrypicked the positions it could solve, >and it solved them (whoa!). You don't mention solution times? Paradise averaged three minutes thirty-three seconds for each solved position. This was on a DEC KL-10. Quite decent for an interpreted language. >I'm so not impressed. I've seen the guts of Paradise, and I am impressed.
