CCCP+(US)

the Columbia Computer Chess Program developed by a group of students at Columbia University, Steven M. Bellovin, Aron Eisenpress, Andrew Koenig, and Ben Yalow, written in PL/I. CCCP played the ACM 1971, where it ran on IBM 360/91 at Columbia University. The project already started during the ACM 1970 in collaboration with Hans Berliner from Carnegie Mellon University, when J. Biit was operated through a chess GUI written at Columbia for the [|IBM 2250 Display Unit]. The four students continued to develop J. Biit, replacing the back end with a much better set of algorithms, evolving into CCCP (a pun on the [|Cyrillic] abbreviation for the official name of the [|Soviet Union], Сою́з Сове́тских Социалисти́ческих Респу́блик) after one year of effort. || toc =Selected Games= ACM 1971, round 3, CCCP - David code [Event "ACM 1971"] [Site "Chicago USA"] [Date "1971.08.04"] [Round "3"] [White "CCCP"] [Black "David"] [Result "1/2-1/2"]
