There was a Chess Program created for the computers in the early 1950s. I cannot find softeware simulation or an emulator that accurately shows the chess playing prorgram from the 1950s. So I used an Java-Based online version instead. This is the the simplified version of Computer Chess. Claude Shannon wrote the chess program for computers by writing on paper first then on computer. It's probably the first computer game ever created.

Note: This is not a accurate representation of the computer chess program in the 50s since it didn't really have like the one shown in the video as it was built from scratch in 2000s something. The Graphics from from this video are not from the 1950s. It would look more primitive than this. I was unable to find a software simulation or emulator for compter chess program from 1950s.

Here's an online Chess version I used:
