Rex Kent, an American computer chess programmer and presumably along with David Lindsay [1], co-author of the dedicated chess computer program Boris for a Fairchild F8 8-bit microprocessor, commercially available from 1978 by Chafitz / Applied Concepts [2]. Rex Kent operated Boris at the PCW-MCC 1978, where Boris lost the play-off versus Mike [3]. However, the later Boris Experimental from 1980, the runner up of the 1st WMCCC 1980 in London, was already a 6502 program by John Aker, based on Boris 2.5 aka Sargon 2.5 by Kathy and Dan Spracklen.
