The Match#
At the end of
1966 a four game correspondence match began between the
Kotok-McCarthy-Program, running on a
IBM 7090 computer, and the
ITEP Chess Program running on a
M-20, written by
Georgy Adelson-Velsky,
Vladimir Arlazarov,
Anatoly Uskov,
Alexander Zhivotovsky, and advised by Russian chess master
Alexander Bitman. The match played over nine months was won 3-1 by the ITEP Chess Program. Despite playing on weaker hardware, it was the better program. Based on
Shannon Type A, it could took advantage on the tactical oversights of the
Kotok-McCarthy-Program, caused by it flaws of the
Shannon Type B plausible move generator.
