Rook+(Program)

a chess program by Lars Karlsson written in Z80 assembly for the card computer //Data Board 4680//, produced by [|Dataindustrier AB], the company founded in 1970 by Karlsson himself. Rook is a typical Shannon Type A program, performing Alpha-Beta with focus on the Killer heuristic. With respectful 3 out of 5 and a shared third place Rook **4.0** had its strong debut at the WMCCC 1980 in [|London]. During the 1981 [|CeBIT] fair in [|Hanover], [|Germany], where [|Boris Spassky] gave a [|simultaneous exhibition], one participant was Rook **4.5**, which lost its game like most others of 25, except three who drew. || toc =Selected Games= WMCCC 1980, round 4, Gambiet 80 - Rook 4.0 code [Event "WMCCC 1980"] [Site "London, United Kingdom"] [Date "1980.09.06"] [Round "4"] [White "Gambiet 80"] [Black "Rook 4.0"] [Result "0-1"]
