Chinook

In 1992, Marion Tinsley (1927-1995), the seemingly unbeatable World Checker Champion, defended his title against the computer program CHINOOK, in a series of games, of which he won 4, lost 2, and drew 33.

For many years, I've wondered what mead or honey wine would taste like, as I know that our surname in would-be Esperanto means "mead frog"—"medo" plus "rano"—"Medrano." It's like a drunken amphibian. Ancient Egyptians consumed mead, and ancient Beowulf and Tolkien writings mention it.

The Chinook sent a hunting party to the south.
