Nelson DID program Taro Toy

Post by Fernando »

It is a fact.
I have been told that as much Nelson knew he could not program a really good chess program, he tried his hand with this pathetic game...
Even so...
Almost every prediction goes wrong.
besides..


At least half the code was written by a third hand regards

Nevertheless, it's a testament to the awesome corporate power of the Fidelity Plastics Manufacturing Company. It is good to know that if they weren't making Sensory 9 housings or anti-tank missile covers, their excess capacity was employed churning out these little historically important bagged trinkets.
Chess is like painting the Mona Lisa whilst walking through a minefield.
