Subject: Computer vs Computer Chess Books?

Are there any chess books that talk about computer vs computer dynamics? Could simply be how to create a computer chess program, stories about the authors of computer chess programs, or an enthusiast observer waxing poetic. Any such book suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - pi -

These mostly focused on computer vs. computer. The second book was a lot thicker than the first, with lots of computer vs. computer games annotated. "Chess Skill in Man and Machine" by Peter Frey. Old, but a classic. "Computer Chess" by Monroe (Monty) Newborn. "How Computers play chess" by Levy & Newbron. "The joy of computer chess" by David Levy. Thin, not a lot there, but if you can find it cheap... All of those are old, being from the 80s. But they can still be fun to read. "Behind Deep Blue" by Hsu is a fascinating story of behind the scenes of Deep Blue's creation. Just go over to Amazon.com and enter "Computer Chess" in the books section and see what turns up.

Another one is: "Computers, Chess and Cognition" by Schaeffer & sland It's got some papers about Deep Thought, HiTech, CrayBlitz, along with some general articles on computer chess.
