'''Schach MV 5,6''',<br/>
an early chess program by [[Helmut Richter]], which apparently was a [[SOMA]] approach without looking ahead more than one [[Ply|ply]]. In 1971, Richter started the development on a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telefunken Telefunken] [[TR-4]] and [[TR 440]] mainframe, continuing with a [[PDP-10]]. Schach MV 5,6, containing about 5000 [[Fortran]] statements, was subject of his diploma thesis <ref>[https://www.computerwoche.de/a/computer-logik-im-koeniglichen-spiel,1205123 Erstes Computer-Schachturnier der Gesellschaft für Informatik] October 17, 1975, [[Computerworld#Woche|Computerwoche]] 42/1975 (German)</ref>.
