Go up one level in this thread


Don't forget, the world existed before 1980.

Seems to me that Slate & Atkin (Chess 3.x, 4.x) pioneered the modern chess
program, dominated the field for the 1970s, and wrote the most influential
papers (their writings are probably the earliest ones which are still worth
reading by anyone writing a chess program today).
