Bs6676

a chess program by Barend Swets, developed between 1966 and 1976, written in Fortran. It was the first Dutch chess program and subject of a thesis supervised by Adriaan de Groot as a knowledge based attempt to simulate a human chessplayer. It had therfor to determine a lot of positional pattern and properties, considering open lines, weak squares, pawn structure, king safety etc., and searched about 150 positions in three minutes. || toc =Tournament Play= Bs'66'76 played the ECCC 1976, the WCCC 1977, the ACM 1978 and ACM 1979, the unofficial Dutch championship matches in 1979, where it won 2-0 from IGM, and a single game in 1980, also versus IGM, which ended in a draw (see below) and the First Dutch Computer Chess Championship in 1981.
