Dear Professor Frey:

A review of Newborn's book is not yet written, but a main item will be a 
complaint that it treats computer chess entirely from a sporting point of view,
and no more analysis is given of why a computer programmer makes a particular
move than is given of why a human chess player makes a move.  This is strange
since the innards of computer programs are observable.  To some extent,
this is the fault of the writer of the programs and not merely Newborn, but
his book contains no analysis of the problems involved.

I hope you will avoid his error, but I think it will be a lot of work.
