Northwestern (Atkin & Slate) CHESS 3.5 Source Code Avail

Post by DaiyuHurst »

Hi folks,

Someone used used the moniker "Carey" has a page on the Weyback Machine for old chess programs. He listed Atkin & Slate's CHESS 3.x as one he'd like the source code for.

I have it, and later versions as well. CHESS 4.6 is operational on the CDC 6500 at Paul Allen's Living Computers Museum+LABS in Seattle (as well as on en emulator named DesktopCyber), and I think CHESS 4.7 is the version running on the PLATO system at Cyber1.org.

Contact me if you'd like the source, and let me know which version.
