I don't think so... did he have a >complete algorithm, like Turning? Yes. The programm was written between 1942 and 1945 on paper. He used a programming language designed by himself called "Plankalkül" (Definition available at the below adress as well) His intension was to write a chess program but he missed some of the basic rules of Chess because he obviously did not know them :-) You can read everything about KONRAD ZUSE at www.zib.de Have a look at his biography and the years 1937/38 Unfortunately some things are only available in german :-( Here is a JAVA applet with his Chess-Algorithms: http://www.zib.de/zuse/Inhalt/Programme/Plankalkuel/Chess/JavaApplet/chess.html Bye Ingo Bauer
