Actually there was a guy on ICC that had taken the old blitz source I sent him
in the middle 70's, and he hacked it to use some sort of graphics card his
company made, but it used the graphics card to execute major parts of the
search.  IE the graphics card kept the board, did make/unmake/check detection,
and did evaluation.

It was actually pretty strong as it was very fast.  I think he had "modernized"
the search to include null-move and so forth and removed the "selectivity"...
