Vladimir Arlazarov [1] [2]

Vladimir L’vovich Arlazarov,
a Russian mathematician, computer scientist, computer chess pioneer, and CEO of the private company Cognitive Technologies [3] [4] [5] founded in 1993, located in the building of the Institute of Systems Analysis, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow [6] [7]. Since 2007, Vladimir Arlazarov is member of the European Academy of Sciences [8].

In 1963 [9] at Alexander Kronrod’s laboratory at the Moscow Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP), Vladimir Arlazarov co-developed the ITEP Chess Program, along with Georgy Adelson-Velsky, Anatoly Uskov and Alexander Zhivotovsky, advised by Russian chess master Alexander Bitman and three-time world champion Mikhail Botvinnik [10]. At the end of 1966 a four game match began between the Kotok-McCarthy-Program, running on a IBM 7090 computer, and the ITEP Chess Program on a Soviet M-20 computer. The match played over nine months was won 3-1 by the The ITEP program, despite playing on slower hardware. By 1971, Mikhail Donskoy joined with Arlazarov and Uskov to program its successor on an ICL System 4/70 at the Institute of Control Sciences, called Kaissa, which became the first World Computer Chess Champion in 1974 in Stockholm.

Later he advised the team that created the chess program Kaissa at Moscow’s Institute for Control Science"
