history
Bebe was created from around 1980 by the American developer couple Tony and Linda Scherzer . After initially using the 8-bit Z80 microprocessor from the American company Zilog as hardware , they ported their software to the then modern bit-slice technology and used the Am2900 - ALU from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) . Bebe adopted in October 1983 at the 4th World Computer Chess Championship ( World Computer Chess Championship WCCC) in New York and took second place behind the supercomputer Cray Blitz .
The Scherzers then implemented a learning function that was unique at the time and that used hash tables in the middlegame . At the 5th World Computer Chess Championship , Bebe finished tied (4 out of 5) with the renewed world champion Cray Blitz in third place.
