'''Neptune''',<br/>
a chess program by [[Matt Craighead]], first trials in [[Pascal]], finally re-written in [[C]]. Neptune participated at [[Don Beal|Don Beal's]] [[UPCCC 1993|Uniform-Platform Computer Chess Championship 1993]], when Matt was 11 years old.
Neptune was the forerunner of [[Morgoth]], which was a complete rewrite of Neptune in 1995 <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.chess.computer/c/oCesDi-1iS4/m/D931c3n_wpwJ quiescence search problems] by [[Matt Craighead]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], August 01, 1995</ref> .

Written by Matthew Craighead, age 11 years, from Minnesota. Matthew is a prodigy (his father refers to him as a "different" child). He began writing computer programs in [[Basic]] at age 4, reading computer manuals as well as biology and anatomy books. From 5 he read his father's biochemistry books. 3 years ago he read about computer chess, and subsequently decided to write his own program. His first one was in [[Pascal]], but he later realised the advantages of the [[C]] language, and re-wrote it. He is currently taking university classes in maths (calculus) as well as attending school. Neptune is not expected to win against the experienced and professional programs in this tournament, but what if he keeps working on it...
