The Second European Computer Chess Championship took place from September 25-27, 1979, at the Wembley Conference Centre, London, United Kingdom. The tournament, sanctioned by the ICCA, was first planned to be held in conjunction with the Fourth International Congress of Cybernetics and Systems in Amsterdam [1] during the week of August 21, 1978, organized by Barend Swets [2], but was displaced due to lack of sponsors [3] [4].
