Now the "net.chess" newsgroup is transferred to Europe. This means
that there probably is no great need for a computer chess  mailing
list. A few people seemed to be interested in computer  chess,  so
why don't we start writing. All You  out  there  doing  something,
write and tell. As we haven't done anything since our last posting
here it comes again...

We are two enthusiastic chess programmers from Lund, Sweden. Since
1978 we have been writing chess programs, and our present  program
"Chestnut", now two years old, is written in Pascal and runs on  a
VAX 11/780, at a rating of about 1600 - 1800. Our main interest is
fancy evaluation functions, but our current project is to  convert
the program to C and increase the speed with a factor  of  10  (we
hope). If we succeed in doing this, we will have  quite  a  strong
program. (A rating over 2000?  Who knows?)  Anyone  interested  in
computer chess? Drop us a letter!
