On August 31, 1970, an experiment began that continues to this day. The first chess tournament for computers was held as part of the Association for Computing Machinery’s (ACM’s) National Conference. The interest generated was tremendous, leading to ACM sponsoring an annual event until 1994. Chesscompetitions continue to this day, allowing for 50 years of data on the growth of artificial intelligence capabilities in this domain. During this period, program ratings have soared from roughly 1400 in 1970 to over 3500 today. The 1970 event was the first continuous competition in computer science history, and it represents the longest ongoing experiment in computing history.11Some paragraphs of the text have been taken from Man vs. Machine: Challenging Human Supremacy at Chess by Karsten Müller and Jonathan Schaeffer [2018].

1970年美国计算机象棋锦标赛：计算机科学史上运行时间最长的实验的开始

1970年8月31日，实验开始至今。作为计算机协会（ACM）的全国会议的一部分，举行了第一届计算机国际象棋比赛。引起了极大的兴趣，导致ACM赞助了一年一度的活动，直到1994年。国际象棋比赛一直持续到今天，已有50年关于该领域人工智能能力发展的数据。在此期间，节目收视率已从1970年的大约1400飙升至如今的3500以上。1970年的活动是计算机科学史上的第一次连续竞赛，它代表着计算机历史上进行时间最长的实验。11正文的某些段落摘自KarstenMüller和Jonathan Schaeffer [在Chess的Man vs. Machine：Challenging Human Supremacy]。 2018]。
