Chess programmer
During the 80s, while associated with Cypress, San Jose, California, he developed two chess programs. SPOC played the ACM 1985 in Denver on an IBM PC 4 5. It's successor, dubbed Chess Monster, participated at the Halloween event of the WMCCC 1986 in Dallas running on a Compaq 386 6.
