I would like to acquire a state of the art chess program, preferably better
than USCF 1500, to run on a 68000 based machine (an Apollo). Something
written in any of the usual languages (C, Pascal) would probably be useful.
Since I intend to use it as an opponent for the learning program I am
building, I would also like the sources. I am, of course, willing to pay for
the program. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, does
anyone know of a commercial chess machine with an RS-232 port?
Thanks much,
David J. Littleboy

By the way, the basic theoretical claim I start from is that the "problem
space" a chess player functions in is determined not so much by the position
at hand, as by the set of ideas, plans, and experiences he brings to bear on
that position. Thus I view chess as a planning activity, with the goals to be
planned for deriving from a player's experiences in similar positions.
