**Pachera**,
a chess program for the [[TRS-80]] by [[Paul Ramsteijn]] which played the [[DOCCC 1983]] in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiden|Leiden]], and became 6th of 14 with respectable 4½ out of 8. Motivated by the programmers of [[Dappet]] while visiting the [[DOCCC 1981]], Paul Ramsteijn studied some literature on the topic, and began to write his own chess program. Version 1.0 finished in January 1982 was written in [[Pascal]], version 2.0 in [[Z80]] [[Assembly|assembly]] featured a 5 [[Ply|ply]] [[Alpha-Beta|alpha-beta]] search using the [[Killer Heuristic|killer heuristic]] <ref>[[Paul Ramsteijn]] (**1984**). //Pachera//. in [[Roger Hünen]], [[Sicco Kooi]] (eds.)
