Kempelen Screen [1]

Kempelen,
a chess program written by Attila Kovács for 6502 and later 68000 based home computers, like Commodore 64, Commodore 128 and Atari ST. The commercial Commodore version by Andromeda Software Inc. [2], market in 1986 by Sierra On-Line was co-authored by Grandmaster István Bilek and Tamás Révkirá [3]. Kempelen played four World Microcomputer Chess Championships in the 80s, the WMCCC 1985, WMCCC 1986, WMCCC 1988 and WMCCC 1989. The program's name was in remembrance of the Hungarian inventor Wolfgang von Kempelen [4], in the late 18th century the constructor of The Turk, the chess-playing automaton later revealed to be a hoax.
