[D]rn1qr1k1/pbp2pb1/1p4p1/3p4/3P4/2NBPN2/PPQ2PP1/R3K2R w KQ - 0 1

Hi ther Steve...hope all is going well...

Both my old WChess PC program and the Novag Sapphire2 portable unit find the move
Bxg6 at only 3 ply...!

I was just wondering if these two chess programs were written by the same person...or is this just a coincidense.... :lol:

regards

have a good day..

Wchess and the Sap2 are both by Kittinger..in fact as far back as i can remember every Novag computer was programmed by Kittinger

No, Steve is the expert in this field, I'm barely rank & file :o

I just happened to know both were Dave Kittenger's programs :wink:

Hi Steve,
I think the first Mk 1, Mk II and Super System III was programmed by David Levy.

Have a nice Weekend Regards
