Description

Computers, Chess and Long-Range Planning is a seminal work from the Heidelberg Science Library that bridges artificial intelligence and strategic thinking through the perspective of Mihail Moiseevich Botvinnik, a legendary figure who uniquely combined careers as an electrical engineer and world chess champion. Botvinnik, born in 1911, became a Soviet Grandmaster by 1935 and dominated world chess from 1948 to 1963, known for his deep, objective, and serious analytical approach. During World War II, he led a high-tension laboratory in the Urals and later headed the alternating-current machine laboratory at the Moscow Institute of Power Engineering. This classic text explores the intersection of computational thinking and long-range strategic planning, examining how computers can be applied to complex decision-making problems through the lens of chess mastery. Published by Springer, this book remains essential reading for those interested in the history of computing, artificial intelligence, and strategic analysis.
