Software developer

Kaplan was always interested in computer chess, founding Heuristic Software Corporation[6] whose first development was Heuristic Alpha in 1990–91.[7] That evolved into Socrates and later Socrates II.

Socrates II was one of their most successful programs, winning the 1993 ACM International Chess Championship[8] defeating opponents with special-purposed hardware and software for playing chess, like HiTech[9] and Cray Blitz[10] even when Socrates II ran on a stock 486 PC.

These achievements drew Electronic Arts's notice and they hired Kaplan's development team to develop Kasparov's Gambit, incorporating former world chess champion Garry Kasparov as brand name and adviser.[11] Kasparov's Gambit was the first and sole effort of Electronic Arts to enter the chess market.
