There also was a checkers program for the IBM 701 in 1952 (https://history-computer.com/arthur-samuel-biography-history-and-inventions https://history-computer.com/arthur-samuel-biography-history...) That wasn’t a video game, though. The 701 didn’t have a CRT until 1954, and that was used in a printer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_740 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_740) So, did they ever play each other? Or do we have the programs so that we could let them play each other?
