=Rex=
Don Dailey's first chess program in the 80s, first in collaboration with [[Sam Sloan]] and later with [[Larry Kaufman]], [[Rex]], competed at various [[ACM North American Computer Chess Championship|ACM North American Computer Chess Championships]] and [[World Computer Chess Championship|World Computer Chess Championships]]. Rex was further improved and marketed as [[RexChess]] <ref>[[Larry Kaufman]] ('''1990'''). ''The Rexchess Story''. [[Computer Chess Reports|Computer Chess Reports Quarterly]]. Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 8, [http://www.chesscomputeruk.com/html/computer_chess_reports.html Chess Computer UK] by [[Mike Watters]]</ref> .
=Heuristic Software=
In the early 90s Don started to work with chess master and computer chess programmer [[Julio Kaplan]] within his company [[Heuristic Software]]. The program they developed was called [[Heuristic Alpha]], which later evolved to [[Socrates]], [[Titan]] aka [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates_II Socrates II], [[Mini]], and the mass-market entry [[Kasparov's Gambit]] <ref>[[Larry Kaufman]] ('''1993'''). ''PC-Software''. [[Computer Chess Reports]], Vol. 4, No. 1, pp. 8-9</ref> .
<span id="MITConnection"></span>
=MIT Connection=
At [[ACM 1993]], which was won by Don's program [[Titan]] aka [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates_II Socrates II] on an [[IBM PC]] ahead of [[Cray Blitz]], he met [[Bradley Kuszmaul]] and [[Charles Leiserson]] from [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] competing with [[StarTech]], and asking him to help them to develop a new parallel chess program. Some time later when Heuristic went out of business, Don Dailey started to work for Charles at the lab at MIT on the new parallel program [[Star Socrates|*Socrates]] part time, beside his duty as official system administrator. *Socrates played a strong [[WCCC 1995]], finally losing the playoff against [[Fritz]]. Don continued his cooperation with Charles Leiserson on [[Cilkchess]].
Quote from ''History of *Socrates'' by [[Chris Joerg]] from his Ph.D. Thesis <ref>[[Chris Joerg|Christopher F. Joerg]] ('''1996'''). ''The Cilk System for Parallel Multithreaded Computing'' Ph. D. Thesis, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]], [http://supertech.csail.mit.edu/papers/joerg-phd-thesis.pdf pdf]</ref> :
We began work on this program in May of 1994. [[Don Dailey]] and [[Larry Kaufman]] of [[Heuristic Software]] provided us with a version of [[Socrates]], their serial chess program. During May and June we parallelized the program using [[Cilk]], focusing mainly on the [[Search|search algorithm]] and the [[Transposition Table|transposition table]]. During June Dailey visited [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] to help tune the program, but we spent most of June simply getting the parallel version of the program to work correctly. In late June, we entered *Socrates in the [[ACM 1994|1994 ACM International Computer Chess Championship]] in Cape May, New Jersey. We ran the program on a 512-node [[Connection Machine|CM-5]] at the [[University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign#NCSA|National Center for Supercomputing Applications]] (NCSA) at the [[University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign|University of Illinois]]. Despite the fact that we had begun working on the program less than two months earlier, the program ran reliable and finished in third place.
=Corel and Mini=
Additionally, Don further worked with [[Larry Kaufman]] for the commercial entry [[Corel Chess]] and competed with the serial program [[Mini]] at the [[WCCC 1999]] (beside Cilkchess), which was simultaneously the [[WMCCC 1999|16th WMCCC]].
=Doch and Komodo=
Don's 2009/2010 program [[Doch]] as well as its successor [[Komodo]] <ref>[http://komodochess.com/ Komodo chess engine by Don Dailey and Larry Kaufman]</ref> are again a joint effort in collaboration with [[Larry Kaufman]] <ref>[http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=15105 Komodo - Rybka in Danger?] by [[Larry Kaufman]], [[Computer Chess Forums|Rybka Forum]], January 21, 2010</ref>.

=Rex=
Don Dailey's first chess program in the 80s, first in collaboration with [[Sam Sloan]] and later with [[Larry Kaufman]], [[Rex]], competed at various [[ACM North American Computer Chess Championship|ACM North American Computer Chess Championships]] and [[World Computer Chess Championship|World Computer Chess Championships]]. Rex was further improved and marketed as [[RexChess]] <ref>[[Larry Kaufman]] ('''1990'''). ''The Rexchess Story''. [[Computer Chess Reports|Computer Chess Reports Quarterly]]. Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 8, [http://www.chesscomputeruk.com/html/computer_chess_reports.html Chess Computer UK] by [[Mike Watters]]</ref> .
=Heuristic Software=
In the early 90s Don started to work with chess master and computer chess programmer [[Julio Kaplan]] within his company [[Heuristic Software]]. The program they developed was called [[Heuristic Alpha]], which later evolved to [[Socrates]], [[Titan]] aka [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates_II Socrates II], [[Mini]], and the mass-market entry [[Kasparov's Gambit]] <ref>[[Larry Kaufman]] ('''1993'''). ''PC-Software''. [[Computer Chess Reports]], Vol. 4, No. 1, pp. 8-9</ref> .
<span id="MITConnection"></span>
=MIT Connection=
At [[ACM 1993]], which was won by Don's program [[Titan]] aka [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates_II Socrates II] on an [[IBM PC]] ahead of [[Cray Blitz]], he met [[Bradley Kuszmaul]] and [[Charles Leiserson]] from [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] competing with [[StarTech]], and asking him to help them to develop a new parallel chess program. Some time later when Heuristic went out of business, Don Dailey started to work for Charles at the lab at MIT on the new parallel program [[Star Socrates|*Socrates]] part time, beside his duty as official system administrator. *Socrates played a strong [[WCCC 1995]], finally losing the playoff against [[Fritz]]. Don continued his cooperation with Charles Leiserson on [[Cilkchess]].
Quote from ''History of *Socrates'' by [[Chris Joerg]] from his Ph.D. Thesis <ref>[[Chris Joerg|Christopher F. Joerg]] ('''1996'''). ''The Cilk System for Parallel Multithreaded Computing'' Ph. D. Thesis, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]], [http://supertech.csail.mit.edu/papers/joerg-phd-thesis.pdf pdf]</ref> :
We began work on this program in May of 1994. [[Don Dailey]] and [[Larry Kaufman]] of [[Heuristic Software]] provided us with a version of [[Socrates]], their serial chess program. During May and June we parallelized the program using [[Cilk]], focusing mainly on the [[Search|search algorithm]] and the [[Transposition Table|transposition table]]. During June Dailey visited [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] to help tune the program, but we spent most of June simply getting the parallel version of the program to work correctly. In late June, we entered *Socrates in the [[ACM 1994|1994 ACM International Computer Chess Championship]] in Cape May, New Jersey. We ran the program on a 512-node [[Connection Machine|CM-5]] at the [[University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign#NCSA|National Center for Supercomputing Applications]] (NCSA) at the [[University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign|University of Illinois]]. Despite the fact that we had begun working on the program less than two months earlier, the program ran reliable and finished in third place.
=Corel and Mini=
Additionally, Don further worked with [[Larry Kaufman]] for the commercial entry [[Corel Chess]] and competed with the serial program [[Mini]] at the [[WCCC 1999]] (beside Cilkchess), which was simultaneously the [[WMCCC 1999|16th WMCCC]].
=Doch and Komodo=
Don's 2009/2010 program [[Doch]] as well as its successor [[Komodo]] <ref>[http://komodochess.com/ Komodo chess engine by Don Dailey and Larry Kaufman]</ref> are again a joint effort in collaboration with [[Larry Kaufman]] <ref>[http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=15105 Komodo - Rybka in Danger?] by [[Larry Kaufman]], [[Computer Chess Forums|Rybka Forum]], January 21, 2010</ref>.
