Computer chess

Abstract

Several authors from the Sixth Annual Computer Chess Championship will discuss their views on the present and future developments in this highly specialized field. David Levy, a chess master from Scotland, will comment on the progress made since he made his world famous wager in 1968 (that no computer would be able to beat him in a match within the next ten years). Breakthroughs in this field will be of considerable interest to artificial intelligence researchers, and also to those involved in the theory of long-range planning.
