James Gillogly was the primary author of the [[Tech|The Technology Chess Program]], which was the predecessor of all modern chess programs, using a [[Claude Shannon|Shannon]] [[Type A Strategy]]. In 1970, Tech was written in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLISS|BLISS]], a system programming language developed at Carnegie Mellon, and in 1977 ported to [[C]].
