Samiel,
a mainframe chess program written in 1972 by Eberhard Klein and M. Krüger as subject of their diplom thesis at Gesellschaft für Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung mbH, Bonn. The program was designed to recognize typical middlegame combinations, extended by a database of classical openings. Samiel played the First GI Computer Chess Tournament 1975, where it ran on a IBM370/168 1. Samiel was further subject of Klein's articles and 1976 Ph.D. thesis under Gerd Veenker at University of Bonn, where the classical method of evaluation functions in heuristic selection problems were described, and the effects in concrete played games due to the special search strategies of the chess model and a pattern recognition learning algorithm applied to computer chess 2.
