'''Blitz''',<br/>
the first chess program by primary author [[Robert Hyatt]] and chess advisor [[Albert Gower]] from [[University of Southern Mississippi]]. Blitz was a [[Type B Strategy|Shannon Type B]] program written in [[Fortran]]. It played the [[ACM 1976]], [[ACM 1977]], the [[WCCC 1977]], . At this point it was rewritten as a [[Type A Strategy|Shannon Type A]] search due to the success of [[David Slate|Slate]]/[[Larry Atkin|Atkin]] and [[Chess (Program)#Chess 4.0 - 4.9|Chess 4.x]]. This version competed in the [[ACM 1978]], the [[ACM 1979]] (ran on [[UNIVAC 1100|UNIVAC 1100/80]]), until at the [[ACM 1980]] successor [[Cray Blitz]] appeared.
