Abstract
The 1960s were the days of the Cold War between the United States and the former USSR, but as cold as relations were between these two adversaries, there was one area where some friendly cooperation took place. The authors of two chess programs, one in the United States and the other on the other side of the Iron Curtain and both the cream of the thin crop of those days, agreed to hold a friendly four-game match in 1966 with moves communicated across the Atlantic by telegraph.
