Daja

an early chess program written in 1974 by Siegfried Jahn and Ludwig Zagler from Technical University of Munich as part of Jahn's Master's thesis. Co-author and thesis supervisor Ludwig Zagler continued the development on Daja, which evolved to Elsa, the program which participated at the WCCC 1977 in [|Toronto]. Daja was written for a [|Telefunken] TR 440 from [|Leibniz-Rechenzentrum]. Since the computer was too busy otherwise, Daja was restricted to play test games during the night. Daja was runner up at the First GI Computer Chess Tournament 1975 in [|Dortmund] after losing the playoff versus Tell. || toc =Publications=
