Way back in 1946, a German engineer by the name of Konrad Zues developed the world’s first computer programming language called Plankalkül while hiding in the Bavarian Alps waiting for the war to end. Among other uses, Konrad used this table and data structure on his Z3 computer as a chess opponent. You can’t help but wonder if Konrad would feel at ease today with all of the different types of computer software available, or would he go back up into the mountains, play chess and hide from the world.
