The Origins of the Database with Frederic Friedel
10/2/2020 – Some might think that ChessBase was the inventor of the chess database. That is true to some degree, but there is a predecessor, and Frederic Friedel was a part of it. In the video we talk about one of the very first commercially available chess database systems, called "Intelligent Chess", and we opened our little ChessBase museum to present to you, the original prototype including a database on audio cassette.
Find the right combination! ChessBase 15 program + new Mega Database 2020 with 8 million games and more than 80,000 master analyses. Plus ChessBase Magazine (DVD + magazine) and CB Premium membership for 1 year!
Let's talk about that

Ah, those were the days! Intelligent Chess was based on Tolinka (by Barry Savage), which David Levy and I combined with a playing program (Mike Johnson). Some of the history is here: https://www.chessprogramming.org/Intelligent_Chess
Absolutely FANTASTIC video! (Says this old man born in the 1950s.)
By the way, the 6502 processor was the processor used on my first computer, the Apple II (and also the Apple II+).
