The Space of One Breath (New Yorker article, computer chess)

'''Leithauser, Brad. A Reporter at Large: "The Space of One Breath."' The New Yorker'' 9 March 1987: 41 f. (for some 19 pages).

Very full report for laypeople on computer chess, history of chess automata (and claims of such), new developments in computer chess, and applications of chess-solving intelligence to the larger world. Significant that The New Yorker would devote so much space to such esoteric subjects as Alan Turing's "abstract universal computing machine" (68).
