a chess program developed in [[Timeline#1948|1947-1948]] by [[Donald Michie]] and [[Shaun Wylie]] which was a rival "paper machine" of [[Alan Turing|Alan Turing's]] and [[David Champernowne|David Champernowne's]] [[Turochamp]]. Turing began programming both at [[University of Manchester]] but never completed them and they never played each other <ref>[[http://www.fbi.fh-darmstadt.de/fileadmin/vmi/chronologie/index.htm|Chronology of Computing]] compiled by [[Mathematician#DSingmaster|David Singmaster]]</ref>.

Following game between SOMA and Machiavelli was played, with the conclusion that it seems unlikely that a one-ply analyzer would beat any but the most inexperienced human player.
