Quote

by Larry Kaufman from The Rexchess Story [5] :

The next step forward came when [Novag's](Novag "Novag") [Dave Kittinger](David_Kittinger "David Kittinger"), [Don](Don_Dailey "Don Dailey") and I jointly worked out how to do an effective [selective](Selectivity "Selectivity") [search](Search "Search") program. Dave put these ideas into the Super Expert B and [Super Forte B](Novag_Forte "Novag Forte"), while Don and I put them into [Rex](Rex "Rex").
