Available at: http://Gambitsoft.com/news.htm 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! Lawrence S.
