Here are 1012 computer games from the years, 1978 - 96.  About a third
of
them have notes.  They have been transcribed and collected from dozens
of
sources, and I have sometimes added in my own notes to them. The games,
Deep
Thought Vs. Rohde (I was at this event and often spoke to Michael about
his
strategy against Chess Computers) & Deep Thought Vs Eric Cooke (as far
as I
know the only notes ever written on this interesting game), are the 2 I
put
the most work into.  But in a number of games I have merged more than
one
source to create a more thoroughly annotated game.
Also quite fascinating are the 2 games between  RISC (estimated about
2450,
when the games were played in 1992, and International Master Jay Bonin,
who
is the 1st player in history to win the Marshall C.C., Manhattan C.C.
and NY
State Ch. in the same year. (1997).  There is also the occasionally
funky
game between myself,  (and other customer's, of Yasser Seirawan's game
store, 'Seattle Mind Games', which went out of business in March of
1996),
against the TASC R30 and Chess Machine.
Primarily, I gathered these game from; Computer Chess Reports (paper
edition), Inside Chess, Chess Life, Chess, British Chess Magazine &
Chess
Base Magazine.
Of the books, I transcribed from, 'How Computers Play Chess' by Newborn
&
Levy, and Keene's 'The Times Winning Chess'.
Of the Newspapers, I transcribed mostly from Robert Byne's NY Times
column,
but also there are games taken out of NY Newsday and the Seattle Times,
among others.
Of course this collection is very far from comprehensive, but does
reflect
what many magazine's, books and newspapers were writing at the time the
games were played.  If there are other readers out there, with their own
unique collections who would like to share what they put together in
databases over the years, I would be most pleased!
