You might consider reading Computer Chess Compendium (Levy (ed.), 1988) ISBN 0-85224-292-1 Some important and some less important historical articles, but it makes an excellent "backgrounder" if you don't have it already. Computers, Chess, and Cognition (Marsland and Schaeffer (eds.), 1990) ISBN 0-387-97415-6, 3-540-97415-6 The second has chapters contributed by the teams of Cray Blitz, Hitech, and Deep Thought. An interesting book overall, though enough of it is based on hardware techniques and go programs(!) that it might not be of too much help specifically for writing your own program. Advances in Computer Chess (1 through 7 or 8). Some of the books in this series are more useful than others, so don't judge the whole series by the first one you find. It is difficult to find published material that discusses today's state-of-the-art chess programming techniques. I'm not aware of a book that does, but I'd be happy to hear of one. Dave
