Dear Computer-Chess Enthusiasts,
Vieweg Verlag delivered as promised and quickly reprinted my book
``Scalable Search in Computer Chess'' (ISBN 3-528-05732-7). The
distribution of the new copies started on May 30, 2000. By now,
the book is available again world-wide through its international
distributor Morgan Kaufmann (a subdivision of Harcourt).
Online buyers face a wide choice of ordering possibilities at
popular e-tailers such as Amazon, Barnes&Noble.com, Bertelsmann
Online, Booxtra, Buch.de, Vieweg Online, and Yurinsha.
Independent reviews of the book by Dr. Dap Hartmann (in English)
and Dr. Christian Donninger (in German) were published in the
"ICGA Journal" and the periodical "Computer-Schach & Spiele" in
March / April 2000. Excerpts from these reviews follow below.
``The results of extensive experiments on scalability and
performance of game-tree searching have been laid down in
this excellent book. [...] I warmly recommend this book to
any serious computer-chess enthusiast. The style of writing
is very clear, and hardly any programming experience is
required to enjoy most of this work. [...] As it is, the book
offers good value for the money. [...] "Scalable Search in
Computer Chess" is one of the three best computer-chess books
of the decade!''
--- Dr. Hartmann, March 2000
``The recently published book "Scalable Search in Computer Chess"
represents the state-of-the-art in the field at the beginning
of the new millenium. [...] The book is compulsory reading
material for all (prospective) chess programmers. [...] Thus,
Ernst Heinz has created a true computer-chess classic.''
--- Dr. Donninger, April 2000 (translated from German)
