Abstract
Even before the work on the program began, it was decided that the first trials would be made on chess problems. The solution of a problem by the program would be a very profitable experiment, and at the same time not too complex. One of the bases for a chess master’s strength is the calculation of variations; after this master capability had been formalized in the form of a program, it was subjected to an experimental trial by endgame studies. Some eleven compositions were prepared, but it turned out that we secured the information needed after only three experiments.
