SCHACH 2 3 (COMPUTER) (born 1968)	[what is this?]
Around 1980, Matthias Engelbach and Thomas Kreitmar extended a 1970s (version 1 was a 1968 Master's thesis that originated at Texas A & M University) of Rolf C Smith and Franklin D Ceruti in the form of its second version.

Jun-20-09		myschkin: . . . Schach, a chess program by Matthias Engelbach* and Thomas Kreitmair. The PC-Version Schach 3.0 was completely written in x86 (486) assembly language. It was one of the fastest programs of its time. It was a non-commercial project developed and maintained by two former students. Work on Schach started in 1978 and after some surprisingly good results in computer chess tournaments, the authors could not stop working on the program. Even the distance - one of the programmers (Kreitmeir) lives in the Netherlands and the other in Germany - was no real handicap. The program was a more or less simple Shannon-A program with all the known extensions (the authors believe in the brute-force method for computer chess). The program is written in 486- assembler and can search 9 or ten plies in the middle-game. Schach participated in the 1980, 1983 and 1986 World Championships, in the ACM events in the period 1981-1985 and in the German and Dutch Championships since 1992. Best results were a 6th place in Linz 1980 and New York 1983, a 3rd place in the 1994 Dutch Championship and a first place in the 1994 German Championship. *Profile: http://www.xing.com/profile/Matthia...
