Thanks for this link!
Just saw a classic primer for Chess Programming published on BYTE magazine
1978 issue, Vol. 3 Number 10

Great resource for millennials, the ads on that magazine are funny, a huge wooden drawer being called a computer. 8-bits cpu, and ads are proud of that.
Now! A computer course and a computer kit featureing 8K RAM all for one unbeatable price! A powerful personal computer system!

Nice stuff, bragging his 8KB RAM while I am sad because I have only 8GB of RAM on my current laptop.

On my slower i7 laptop it is doing 172 NPS.
Seems the emulation via the browser is very slow.
