It played an exhibition match versus Greenblatt's Chess Program at the 1968 IFIP conference held in [|Edinburgh] quite well but finally lost. The game was analyzed by Jack Good, published in Donald Michie's //Machine Intelligence 4//. Scott's program was further sparring partner of Alex Bell's program Atlas, the forerunner of Master.
