Subject: Looking for some information and positions

Author: Jari Huikari

I'd like to find information about history of computer chess:
When alpha-beta was invented and other 'milestones'.

And if I remember right I have seen here an estimation about
how many different chess positions there are.

And finally I'd like to get those strange positions where Fritz
couldn't find easy mates: another was a zugzwang and mate wasn't
found because of using null move, and the other was arbitrary
position mate in 1, where it calculated forever the exchanges of
the pieces placed in the middle of the board.

	Thanks in advance,
