There is a chess program for the PDP-10 available in the DECUS archives
which is a linear descendant[1] of Richard Greenblatt's MACHACK, the first
chess program to obtain a USCF/FIDE Master rating.  Access to appropriate
hardware can be arranged if desired.

[1] The late Richard Gruen translated the MIT version to a Tops-10 variant
    which was later moved to TOPS-20.  The DECUS library has both versions.
