Paul Morphy

Paul,
a chess program written by Christopher Lutz and Michael Schmitt in Turbo Pascal , and participant of the WMCCC 1989 in Portorož. Paul was inspired by the Basic program Demoschach as described in the German Data Becker computer chess book by Rainer Bartel, Hans-Joachim Kraas and Günther Schrüfer . The evaluation was a little bit ad hoc and not that well tuned. Paul happily exchanged its fianchetto bishop for the knight and doubled c pawn, which took Christopher Lutz, already international master at that time, on his own responsibility .

Scholarship

In 1989, both authors received the Mephisto "Young Programmers" Scholarship of $2,500 for programmers under 19 years of age who have written the best chess program, sponsored by Hegener & Glaser :

The ICCA is pleased to congratulate Mr. Schmitt and Mr. Lutz for their success. Each of them receive $1,250 from Hegener & Glaser, sponsor of this scholarship, to be used at any college or university of their choice. Hegener & Glaser also kindly sponsored their travel costs to Portorož for the World Microcomputer Chess Championship in September.
