I worked hard on Phoenix in preparation of the triennial [[WCCC 1986|World Computer Chess Championship in 1986]]. To improve the program's performance it was modified to run in [[Parallel Search|parallel]], using up to thirty computers. They would divide up the work, and each computer would solve part of the problem. In effect, the program was like a small business organization, with a manager to allocate work and employees to do the assigned tasks. The hard work payed off, Phoenix tied for first place in the world championship. I partied late into the night after the final game, intoxicated with success and Coca-Cola. It took a long time for me to come down from my high.
