Strategist
[ Стратег (Strategist) [1] Strategist, (Стратег)
a Soviet dedicated chess computer prototype with a program developed by E. Surmin and S. Korbatov, supported by A.S. Morozov from manufacturer NICEVENT, Moscow. The program, written in Assembly, performed alpha-beta and searched about 40-200 positions per second. In 1988, the computer was announced to become commercially available in the Soviet Union at a price of 380 Soviet ruble, roughly 600$ at that time [2].
