The development of the chess computer as a consumer product of increasing chess strength, features and sophistication largely predates the internet. Whilst there is now a wealth of information about chess computers on the internet there is not much contemporary published source material in English from that important formative period in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Here I intend to build an archive of articles and other written material about chess computers and computer chess from that period. Hopefully these webpages will grow to include most of what is available. Articles will mainly be from defunct magazines such as Personal Computer World, which covered the subject until the likes of Selective Search and Computer Chess Digest appeared later in the 1980s. Some other countries, such as Sweden (Ply) and West Germany (eg Computer Schach & Spiele), were quicker off the mark with specialist publications.
