Kasparov's+Gambit

a commercial [|Kasparov] licensees chess program for x86 PCs running the MS-DOS operating system, released by Electronic Arts in 1993. It had a [|SVGA] [|isometric] graphic chessboard, and the license of the in that time [|world's reigning chess champion], [|Garry Kasparov]. During game play, Kasparov pops up in a video window to give advice and context sensitive kibitzing. The engine and graphics was developed by Heuristic Software, [|MobyGames] credits Julio Kaplan, Salim Benbahmed and Don Dailey as programmers, and [|Garry Kasparov], Larry Kaufman, [|Marc Leski], Eric Schiller, and [|Robert Burger] as Chess Consultants. The engine was based on Heuristic Alpha and its successor Socrates by Dailey and Kaufman. While Socrates was written in 386 assembly, the majority of Kasparov's Gambit engine was written in C, with the 'loader' for the sound and video written in 386 assembly. This last was written by Hugh S. Myers a consultant brought to the project by Electronic Arts. Interesting to note that all participants working for Heuristic Software were either nationally or internationally rated chess players. || toc =Screen Shot= =History= Larry Kaufman on the initial release and history of Kasparov's Gambit in Computer Chess Reports 1993 :
