It describes chess4.x, and is still "must" reading for a new programmer. After that, I'd try to find "computers, chess and cognition", edited by Jonathan Schaeffer, published by Springer-Verlag. It provides a lot of details about Deep Thought (hardware), HiTech (hardware) and Cray Blitz (software and parallel search).
