In a used book store, a few months back, I picked up a book called "Computer Chess Compendium" by David Levy. This is simply a wonderful book with tons of material on computer chess. It contains articles and detailed research papers on computer chess dating from 1950 to around 1980. It also has computer game listings dating as late as 1987 (which is about the time when the book was published). True, this book is somewhat dated. But it still provides excellent insight into how chess computer programs work. It was just the type of book I've been looking for in learning about how computer chess programs "think". I'm definitely keeping my copy. If you're looking for this book, here are some of the particulars: First published: 1988 by B.T. Batsford Ltd.
