from Ard's Chesspage <ref>[http://vanbergen.me.uk/chess.htm Ard's Chesspage]</ref>:
Also, when I was a student, I started to develop my own chess program which competed many times in the [[Dutch Open Computer Chess Championship|Dutch National Championship]] organised by the [[CSVN]]. The best result my program obtained was a shared second place in 1983. It also competed twice ([[WCCC 1986|Cologne 1986]] and [[WCCC 1989|Edmonton 1989]]) in the World Championship organised by the [[ICCA]] (now [[ICGA]]).
