[[FILE:Ssdf.gif|border|right|thumb|link=http://ssdf.bosjo.net/ssdf.htm| SSDF Logo <ref>[http://ssdf.bosjo.net/ssdf.htm Svenska schackdatorföreningen (SSDF)</ref> ]]

The '''SSDF''' - '''S'''venska '''s'''chack'''d'''ator'''f'''öreningen, the Swedish Chess Computer Association, is an organization that tests computer chess software by playing chess programs against one another and producing a rating list. The forerunner of the SSDF was founded in [[Timeline#1979|1979]] by [[Johan Enroth]] in conjunction with the publication of the [[PLY (Magazine)|PLY Magazine]] <ref>[http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb432434/historik.htm PLY/SSDF – the story]</ref>. Enroth served as first president and was also Vice-President of the [[ICCA]] in the 80s. Initiated by [[Göran Grottling]] <ref>[http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb432434/historik.htm#1997 PLY/SSDF – the story - 1997]</ref>, the SSDF was founded with the purpose to coordinate the interest for computerchess and chesscomputers in Sweden, and to release PLY. [[Thoralf Karlsson]] became chairman until 2013 when he was superseded by [[Lars Sandin]]. In 1998, the PLY Magazine was ceased.
