Chess, also known as Robot Chess and Mate-in-Two, was a chess program developed by German scientist Dietrich Prinz, which first ran in November 1951 on the Ferranti Mark 1 at the University of Manchester. It is regarded as one of the earliest efforts toward developing computer-based chess program and was directly inspired by Alan Turing’s theoretical chess program Turochamp, which was never implemented on a computer.
