Message-ID: <6382@venera.isi.edu> Date: 27 Sep 88 06:03:42 GMT Organization: USC-Information Sciences Institute Lines: 17 AI-Chess, -- quite possibly the strongest program ever marketed. This program is beginning to surface as a very strong contender; defeating Novag Super-Expert (USCF 2164) by a margin of 11-1 at speed settings of 15 sec., 30 sec., and 1 min on a PC running at 10mhz. It has a broad opening book emphasizing many stylish and popular openings including great depth in some for the tournament player. If you wish to talk with the developer, call for Marty on Saturday October 1 at 714-631-7452; if the line is busy, keep calling. This really looks like a substantial advance over both dedicated chess machines *AND* PC-based chess programs. Stuart
