an American computer scientist and former computer chess programmer. He started chess programming in 1968 as physics graduate student at [[Northwestern University]], and by mid 1969 joined the group of [[Larry Atkin]] and [[Keith Gorlen]], to produce their first successful program, [[Chess (Program)|Chess 2.0]]. After Gorlen left the Northwestern in 1970, the development continued under Atkin and Slate. Later supported by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDC_Cyber CDC Cyber] consultant [[David Cahlander]], Chess almost dominated computer chess during the 70s in the United States.
From the late 70s, Slate collaborated with [[William Blanchard]] to build their new chess program [[Nuchess]]. In the early 80s, David Slate was further involved in the development of programs for [[Dedicated Chess Computers|dedicated chess computers]]. Affiliated with [[Applied Concepts]], and along with Atkin, Slate co-authored the [[Morphy#Gruenfeld|Gruenfeld]] and [[Morphy#Capablanca|Capablanca]] module programs for the [[Great Game Machine]] and the [[Chafitz Modular Game System|Chafitz modular game system]]. David Slate further worked with [[Peter W.
