Does anyone know where (if at all) one can find resources on the old
Ostrich chess program?

First choice would be to write new...@cs.mcgill.ca... since Monty was
the author. Note that it was a data general computer program written
in assembly language, and that the parallel search code used some specific
hardware hacks they built at mcgill.

He did write more than one paper about different aspects, mostly on the
parallel search (because the rest of the program was pretty much just
normal computer chess for the time.)

If you have trouble contacting him, let me know...

Bob
