The Bernstein Program

## Description

_The Bernstein Program_ is the earliest known chess game that implemented the
complete rule set. The game examines two levels of moves, but unlike earlier
chess games doesn’t try out every possible move but only the seven most
plausible moves. After determining what the most plausible moves are the game
uses static factors and minimaxing to determine the best move. Running on the
IBM 704 computer the program took about eight minutes to determine its move
and never managed to defeat a human opponent.
