Astro 64,
the first Romanian chess program, written by Viorel Darie for the Felix C-256 mainframe computer at the Computer Institute of Bucharest [1], developed in about two years starting from 1976.
Astro 64 searched about 10,000 positions per minute (166 nps) on the Felix C-256, and played a public match of one move per week in 1978/79 against the readers of a Romanian newspaper, also published in Personal Computing [2] .
