Thanks for locating Bryan’s interview with Dave Kittinger, Mike!
Wchess wound up as my favorite chess engine in the late ‘90s/early 2000's due to its implementation in Power Chess 98.
Fast Forwarding to 2012 ..Kittinger surfaced for a brief shining moment on the CCC:
He posted for less then 2 weeks and made only 25 posts ..returning once again to the harsh hinterlands of the north and obscurity

Two nights ago I watched a documentary, "Game Over", about the demise of Atari and how they buried their remaining stock of game cartridges in a Nevada landfill back in 1983.
This made me wonder, what happened to all of the design documentation, source code, service manuals, development workstations, remaining stock, etc, when Novag went under. Unlike other major chess computer manufacturers who had been acquired rather than just folding, Novag was bought but its parent company soon followed suit and closed its doors.
So, is all that stuff locked in a disused warehouse? Occupying a significant portion of a landfill in China? Squirreled away in a possibly-unclaimed storage somewhere? Under the control of a bankruptcy court or receiver?
Inquiring minds want to know! (Well, my inquiring mind wants to know.)
