The '''Fourth World Microcomputer Chess Championship''' took place from September 9-15, [[Timeline#1984|1984]], at Stakis Ingram Hotel <ref>[http://www.ciao.co.uk/sr/q-ingram,tc-5291605 Ingram - Glasgow - Prices, Offers & Tests of Ingram]</ref>, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow Glasgow], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland Scotland], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom United Kingdom], hosted by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_Scotland Scottish Chess Association] as part of their centenary celebration. [[Michael Valvo|Mike Valvo]] served as Tournament Director, and the [[ICCA]] was represented by [[Monroe Newborn]].
Nineteen programs battled for the title, represented far fewer interests since multiple entries were allowed. Each company was permitted as many as three entries although there was no limit for a particular author, like [[Dan Spracklen|Dan]] and [[Kathe Spracklen]] with interests in seven of the nineteen entries. After seven rounds, four programs tied for the first place, presented four different interests which was a mathematical miracle, [[Elite|Elite X]], [[Mephisto (H)#Mephisto3|Mephisto III A]], [[Princhess|Princhess X]] and [[Psion]]. The awards ceremony took place in the about-to-be-founded [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_Institute Turing Institute], the brainchild of [[Donald Michie]] and an affiliate of Glasgow's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Strathclyde University of Strathclyde] <ref> [[Monroe Newborn]] ('''1984''').
