Source of to play "credibly"

Does anyone happens to know the source of calling Kotok-McCarthy the first program to play regular chess "credibly"? We could add it to this article. Maybe I need to write to Bill Wall. xplor in this thread on ChessNinja.com seemed to me to attribute the word "credibly" to David Bergamini in his 1963 book Mathematics or "The mathematics of beauty in nature and art." The Bill Wall History of Computer Chess and CSAIL timeline both say credibly. I accidently bought Bergamini and LIFE's book "Mathematics" and unless I missed it it doesn't have that quote or the same title. It does have the photograph but I don't recognize the two men or know what computer they are using. For now until the source is known and so the word isn't copied forward without attribution, the article says Kotok-McCarthy was the first to play "convincingly." --Susanlesch 03:41, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Score

The article says "The score was 3 to 1". In whose favor? This program? Bubba73 (talk), 03:17, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this says this program lost the match. Bubba73 (talk), 03:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kronrod and directorship in ITEP

The article says "Sadly, Kronrod lost his directorship at ITEP and his professorship because of complaints from physics users that ITEP mathematics resources were being used for gaming.". THIS IS NOT TRUE. The main cause was the fact that he signed a letter in defense of Esenin-Volpin and was fired by demand of the Communist Party. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelFurman (talk • contribs) 23:00, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MichaelFurman, if you have a reliable source saying this please add it. Thanks. -SusanLesch (talk) 22:09, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Soviet computer in the ITEP match

I think the Soviet computer was an M-2 and not an M-20, as this page used to state: the referred page about the M-20 didn't mention chess at all, while the page about the M-2 at the same site (a Russian computer museum) deals with the match, with Kronrod and other people involved in the story. I made the change. --positron (talk) 15:20, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Thank you, Positron. -SusanLesch (talk) 22:09, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
