That's what I'm wanting. True, Turing never did actually finish doing a computer program, but he did have a basic chess playing algorithm that a human could follow while pretending to be a computer. It had a search, quiescient search, evaluator, positional scoring. The basics of what a chess program needs. True, the program was for a human to follow, but it was still a 'program'. All I can find on the web is an abreviated version. I see a powerpoint version and an "apendix" http://home.hetnet.nl/~ext/Study/Appendix.htm that list the same description. But I don't think that's the full description because a few references I've seen in here talked about the description being two pages in some book.
