Interview by Don Daily available ...

[Frank Quisinsky]

Hi there,

On http://www.schach-welt.de I added the brandnew interview with Don Daily, USA, programmer of Mini, RexChess, Socrates, CorelChess, CilkChess and his actual engine Doch.

schach-welt.de
menu system: Spezial / Computerschach / Interview Don Daily

The interview is in english language.

1. Later available as *.pdf
2. English isn't my native language. So the questions will be correct a little bit later.

I hope the members of TalkChess understand my "certain" english.

Have a nice weekend and enjoy the amazing interview.

Best
Frank

Hi Frank,

Thanks for making this interview available! I found the link here but could not see it in the menu yet. Maybe before you make a pdf of it, I think it is Don Dailey, not Daily

Regards, Eelco

Hi Frank,

small correction: Mini did not play WM Cologne 1985 (was 1986 btw.) but Rex. Mini played the WCCC 1999 in Paderborn.

Cheers,
Gerd

Thanks for a very interesting interview Don & Frank. Don I suspect you are right when you say that we are about to see a major jump in playing strength of many engines.

Best.

Hallo Gerd,

I had it in my brain and and forgot it to checked. Means to look in the cc-database I created in the past (today available on Leo's page). I will do the correction in the next minutes.

Have thanks Gerd.

PS in German:
Hätte das in alles in Ruhe am Montag erledigen sollen. Das kommt offenbar davon wenn ich zu schnell bin.

You are always welcome to consult and/or contribute to the chess programming wiki. Another program where Don was involved was *Socrates, his first MIT-project using Cilk, runner up of the WCCC 1995 after losing the playoff against Fritz.
