«Ajedrez y computadoras» is the essay by Ludek Pachman and Vas I. Kühnmund, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The book studies the arrival of computers in chess in the early 1980s. Using the Chess Challenger on the cover as an example, it analyses how computers approach strategy and tactics against the human player and what that encounter between the classic board and the new technology means.
It belongs to the Escaques Collection no. 70; 1982 edition in Barcelona.
For chess enthusiasts and for those curious about the early steps of computing applied to the game.
Luděk Pachman was a Czech-German chess grandmaster, chess writer, and political activist. In 1972, after being imprisoned and tortured almost to death by the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia, he was allowed to emigrate to West Germany. He lived the remainder of his life there, and resumed his chess career with considerable success, including playing in the Interzonal in 1976 and winning the West German Championship in 1978.
