title: Zerker
[ Odin and Berzerk [1] Zerker,
an announced chess entity developed by James Testa, specified to run on a 32-bit Sun SPARCstation (12 mips), written in C, utilizing a 100 MB hash table and the Berkeley Chess Microprocessor, designed and developed by Testa and his advisor, Alvin M. Despain at University of California, Berkeley [2]. Zerker was registered to play the ACM 1990, and is mentioned in the tournament booklet with a speed of 7,000,000 moves per second [3] , roughly three times faster than Deep Thought at that time [4] . Unfortunately, a damage of its Sun computer [5] during shipment from California to Manhattan forced its withdrawal, and apparently, the project was later abandoned.
