About This Item
Claude Shannon wrote the first technical paper on computer chess in 1949, a paper which outlined an approach to computer chess without discussing a specific program. (see Origins of Cyberspace 882).
In 1957 we find the first report of a computer playing chess, but using a restricted 6 x 6 square board. While sufficient to demonstrate the concept, the present paper, "A Chess Playing Program for the IBM 704" details a computer that can play a game on a true 8 x 8 board of chess.
For the purist, this is the first real description of a chess playing computer.
