Wrote many engineering programs as an engineer, primarily in Fortran. As a Freshman in college in 1958, a group of us students (as members of the Computer Club, but also members of the Chess Club) did write a chess program for a vacuum tube computer which had a drum memory. All input and output was on cards. Assembly language was a joke, being merely a listing of machine language commands with a label affixed. We entered everything in machine language on cards. Moves were entered on cards and computer moves punched out on cards, as this was more convenient that using the lights on the computer. Program not exactly competitive by todays's standards, but it worked. Our performance standards were not very high. We were satisfied when it produced legal chess moves.
