How Computers Play Chess by David Levy and Monty Newborn explores the early development of computer chess and how machines analyze the game.

The book explains the principles behind chess engines, including search algorithms, evaluation functions, move generation, and decision-making processes.

It provides insight into how computers calculate variations, assess positions, and simulate strategic choices.

The work also discusses the challenges programmers faced in teaching machines to play strong chess during the early era of artificial intelligence.

Blending chess with computer science, the book offers both technical and historical perspective on the evolution of machine chess.

A valuable book for chess enthusiasts, programmers, historians, and collectors, especially those interested in artificial intelligence, chess engines, and the history of computer chess.
