a chess program developed in 1977 by Ira Baxter from //Software Dynamics//, written entirely in SD Compiler Basic on a 6800 microcomputer, using a minimax tree lookahead scheme. To simplify the move generation, SD Chess stores the chess board in the middle of a 12 by 12 field, with the borders filled with white pawns. SD Chess competed in the Microcomputer Chess Tournament of the Second West Coast Computer Faire, March 3–5, 1978. A program called //Chess D// by Ira Baxter was on the Stand-By list of the WCCC 1983 in [|New York].
