A wonderful history of Alan Turing's work on chess computers. He developed the first chess program on paper before there was a computer capable of running it! This book also provides the pseudo-code for the mini-max algorithm, which is the basis for most chess engines. I used this to write my own chess engine when I was 19. It was a 1000 line C program, capable of all rules except en-passant. I remember being very pleased when it whipped my Dad, who is no slouch at chess.
