Planner,

Jonathan Schaeffer's first chess program. When Schaeffer started studying computer science at the University of Waterloo in 1979, he met Ron Hansen, co-author of Ribbit and Treefrog, who generously gave him a copy of his program, which Schaeffer used to learn how to write a chess program. For his master's thesis, he translated the Fortran program into the Z programming language (similar to the well known C programming language), as a code base to implement own chess knowledge and long range planning.
