Editor note

Chess ran on Control Data Corporation's line of supercomputers, CDC 6600 and CDC Cyber.
Chess 4.x delivered various man-machine matches, most notably the David Levy versus Chess 4.7 match in 1978, where Levy won his famous bet.
In 1979, a Levy versus Chess 4.8 game was introduced to a greater audience in the German television
