Richard Lang (the author) was a World Champion chess chess author in the late 80's and early 90's and is truly one of the great pioneers in computer chess programming. Many of his programs were dominate and much stronger than its peers. For the simple collectability reason, I recommend everyone to buy it. The program will give 99.5% of the human population a run for it's money. Back then, the top commercial programs cost over $100. With all that said, most of the top commercial and many of the top amatuer programs today are stronger. The top commercial programs are generally under $50 today and the top amatuer prorgrams are free. Good Luck!
