Subject: A computer against itself

Author: Claude Shannon

Has anyone ever simply set a computer to play against itself,
choosing moves alternately for white and black from the same
search information?  At what point during the game would the
computer make a mistake leading to victory for the other "side"?
Such a game would be useful in evaluating the performance of
the computer.  Also it would be free of bias that might be
found in a game constructed by a human.  Every chess program
sold ought to come with such a demo game that would be repeatable.
