A.C. Thornton

Post by flok »

Hi,

Back in the 80s, Chris Thornton wrote several chess programs for the ZX Spectrum.
I'd like to get in contact with him for a short interview.
Sofar googling did not give any results so maybe someone here knows how to get into contact with him?
If I'm not mistaken he's also one of the founders of Arctic Computing, a UK distributor of 8-bit software.

Try emailing David Levy he may have details. David plays Poker with Clive Sinclair on Sundays.
