The history of computer chess

The core Blue Team, 1997

This week I have been too busy with all my free time occupied with the Alekhine Chess Tournement in Lisbon, without posting in the blog, butI would to draw your attention to a very interesting site about computer chess history.

The history of computer chess is a five-decade long quest to solve a difficult intellectual problem. The story starts in the earliest days of computing and reflects the general advances in hardware and software over this period. This on-line exhibition contains documents, images, artifacts, oral histories, moving images and software related to computer chess from 1945 to 1997.
