Short-tailed Albatross [1]
Albatross,
a chess program by Michael Parker written in Z80 assembly. Albatross participated at the WMCCC 1980 [2], the European MCC 1981 and European MCC 1983,
running on a Nascom 1 computer.

Don't shoot the Albatross
[3] [4] Quote by Tony Harrington on the Albatross during the 4th European MCC 1983 [5]
Mike Parker's program, Albatross, which finished the Tournament with one and a half points - much to its author's delight - turned out to be vulnerable to spectators. Someone took a flashlight photo rather too close to it and the Nascom 1, on which the Albatross was running, promptly had a seizure. This prompted cries of 'Don't shoot the Albatross' for the next seven rounds whenever anyone with a camera appeared on the scene.
