Nuchess,
the Northwestern University chess program by David Slate, one of the original authors of Chess x.x, and William Blanchard of Vogelback computing center at Northwestern University. Nuchess played the WCCC 1980 in Linz on a CDC Cyber 176 and the WCCC 1983 in New York on a Cray-1 4Mb, becoming sixth and fourth respectively. Nuchess further participiated at the ACM 1981 (runner up), the ACM 1982, where Belle won on tie-break points before Cray Blitz, Nuchess and CHAOS, all 3/4, and the ACM 1984. Nuchess was a 64 bit program, written in Fortran, program size in 1983 was about 250K and it searched about 2.8K Nodes per second [1] . Nuchess, apparently the successor of Chess 4.9, was mentioned as Chess 5.0 at the Ars Electronica site of the WCCC 1980 [2] , where Chess 4.9 did also compete with Larry Atkin and David Cahlander as authors.

Interior Node Recognizer

Like Chess 4.x, Nuchess was a brute-force chess program. It did not only evaluate leaf nodes but also the interior of the tree, to narrow bounds and to concern with determinations of or guesses of game-theoretic win/draw/loss values [4] .
