Overall: Interesting article. Looks good. The hour to move aspect could probably also make a decent hook if you like, e.g. ALT4 ... that in the 1979 computer chess game Chesmac, the computer could take up to an hour to make each move? The proposed hooks are fine, though. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:48, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
