Computer Chess in Core

The latest issue of Core, the occasional magazine of the Computer History Museum, just came out and it has a link to a long and fascinating online exhibit on the history of computer chess. There's also a nice intro The quest to build a thinking machine: A History of Computer Chess By Dag Spicer and Kirsten Tashev.

The Core site also links to lots of other interesting content on the history of computing and a back issue archive.
