Sfinks

a chess program written by William Fink. It was one of the early commercial chess programs for IBM PC's, written in Assembly for 8-bit Z80- and 16-bit 8086 [|microprocessors] subsequently, and participated at the MCC 1980, the ACM 1982 and the WCCC 1983 with the 8-bit version running on an TRS-80 [|microcomputer]. Sfinks was a modern full-width alpha-beta searcher with iterative deepening and small refutation tables with very moderate memory requirements to store two additional moves of a principal variation for each root-move.
