What happened in 1970 ?bob wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 3:44 am Want to know how long this stuff has been around? Ed Kozdrowicki sent me a text description of what was simply called "Forsythe notation." I think around 1971 after we talked during the infamous 1970 computer chess tournament (first held). I thought it was an elegant solution to a common problem, and have been using it ever since. Steven Edwards then took it and formalized it at some point and it was called FEN from that point on.

90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Re: EPD destruction tests
1st ever computer chess tournament. I figured most any computer chess fanatic would know this.... This was a tournament where almost everything went wrong. Coko refused to play a mate in 2 (I think this was '70, could have been '71 or so). Pawns to 8th rank and staying pawns. You name it. Computer chess was just getting started...
