Hartmut Tanke,
a German computer scientist with a degree from Technical University of Berlin in 1984 on Computer Chess and Problem Handling Processes. Since the late 70s, Tanke has compiled a computer chess bibliography, which contained about 1400 entries in the August 1985 report, including 76 entries in Russian, also mentioned in the translator's note of Algorithms for Games by Georgy Adelson-Velsky, Vladimir Arlazarov, Mikhail Donskoy ^[1].

Computer Chess and Problem Handling Processes, English Abstract ^{[2] [3]}

This paper aims at a new orientation for computer chess in the area of problem handling processes. Based on the extended and defined theory of C.E. Shannon the status of computer chess is critically reviewed. Aspects of representation and use of knowledge for problem solving are discussed. A progress developing of problem conception are the cognitive processes of chess thinking as described in the cybernetic model of information circulation. The key phenomenon of progressive deepening characterizes the fact that real problems are rather handled than solved. Making critical use of cybernetic and cognitive findings and applying those to the works of Shannon and A.D. de Groot the fundamental concept of information spiral is introduced. A concept analysis shows that within that spiral information and behavior is of mutual influence. The results are used for an assesment of new approaches to computer chess.
