Kaplan 8-Bit dedicated chess computers. The last versions of the 8-Bit dedicated chess computer machines of Saitek, known as Leonardo Galileo Renaissance + Maestro Analyst D 6/8/10 mhz were really promising. We got experimental versions we named D+ and D++. Then Saitek stopped the project and came with the sparc module. And later the PC-Program Socrates came on the market. I wonder why it plays IMO so different then the kaplan 8-Bit chess programs. It does not have (IMO) the style of the dedicated chess computers. Can it be that Socrates was more or less a work of Daily etc. than a transformation of the 8-Bit chess programs into PC ? Anybody knows ? what happened to heuristic software and the chess programs of julio kaplan ?
