Personal computer of chess player and scientist Mikhail Botvinnik

Stargift Personal computer of chess player and scientist Mikhail Botvinnik Personal computer Mikhail Botvinnik is a famous Soviet and Russian chess player, scientist, Doctor of Technical Sciences, head of the sector of the Institute of Electric Power Engineering, author of numerous inventions patented in many countries of the world. The exhibit is accompanied by a letter from Olga Mikhailovna Fioshkina, Mikhail Botvinnik's daughter, confirming in the text that this computer was in the personal use of her father, Mikhail Botvinnik, from the 1980s until his death. From about the 1960s until the end of his life, Mikhail Botvinnik was engaged in the development of a "thinking" program that would choose moves like a human. Scientists were extremely interested in creating chess programs, because they sincerely believed that only a really smart machine could beat a person at chess, and this would be a triumph of artificial intelligence!#nbsp; Mikhail Botvinnik made a special contribution to the history of computer chess. After a personal meeting with Claude Shannon in the spring of 1965, Botvinnik was inspired by the scientist's idea of the possibility of using a chess computer as a model for solving similar control problems. Being a patriot, Botvinnik firmly believed in the possibility of more effective planning of the state economy with the help of smart computers — Botvinnik's desire to program chess became stronger and stronger. Botvinnik was in charge of the laboratory at VNIIE, and in the summer of 1972 he managed to "break through" the scientific topic of working on a chess computer program. In December 1976, his program was given the ambitious name "Pioneer". She couldn't play, but she solved the famous Rety sketch and a number of more difficult tasks. Further refinement of the program gave unexpected side effects: it was successfully used both to calculate the cost of repair work and in the preparation of the state plan in 1986. However, there was no progress in chess, but Botvinnik was true to his dream. For many years, his team had to test the Pioneer program on other people's computers, often with paid machine time. The laboratory was in dire need of personal computers, and when they appeared in 1987, the chess player got his first PC, currently represented in the Stargift collection. To obtain this computer, which was not yet available for open sale, the grandmaster had to go to an appointment with the chairman of the USSR State Sports Committee.#nbsp; Despite the collapse of Pioneer and the triumph of chess programs, the very idea of developing a "smart" algorithm for playing chess has remained forever associated with Botvinnik's name.

A program with autographs of chess players: Mikhail Botvinnik, Anatoly Karpov, Vasily Smyslov, Mikhail Tal and others

Stargift A program with autographs of chess players: Mikhail Botvinnik, Anatoly Karpov, Vasily Smyslov, Mikhail Tal and others Mikhail Botvinnik was considered an unsurpassed master of analysis — serious preparation for games, matches and tournaments, as well as incredible concentration helped him to win. Subsequently, the grandmaster created his own school for young chess players (its students, in particular, were future world champions Anatoly Karpov, Vladimir Kramnik and others), wrote many books on theory. At the same time, even as a world champion, he combined the game of chess with scientific activities in the field of electrical engineering, successfully defended his doctoral thesis, patented several inventions, and worked on the creation of the first Soviet chess computer program "Pioneer". Anatoly Karpov is a Soviet and Russian chess player and politician, the twelfth world chess champion, and an international grandmaster. Anatoly's father taught him how to play chess. In 1961, at the age of ten, he took first place in a tournament among schoolchildren, and at the age of 14 he became the master of sports of the USSR. It was for the sake of studying at the Botvinnik school that Anatoly, as a teenager, first came to Moscow. Later, in 1968, Mikhail Botvinnik, already in the status of mentor to the future grandmaster, personally appealed to Vyacheslav Yelyutin, the Minister of Higher Education of the USSR, with a request to allocate an additional place for Karpov at Moscow State University, as he believed that Karpov needed to live in Moscow to achieve major sporting success. According to the results of the review of Botvinnik's letter, Karpov was accepted out of competition at Moscow State University. Vasily Smyslov is a Soviet and later Russian chess player. The 7th world chess champion. The champion of the USSR. Three-time champion of Moscow. Nine-time winner of the World Chess Olympiads as a member of the USSR team. The winner of the First World Team Championship as a member of the USSR team. The first meeting between Smyslov and Botvinnik at the chessboard took place in 1940 in the final of the XII USSR Championship. Then there were other tournament battles, the most significant of which were in the match tournaments of 1941 and 1948. But the peak of the famous confrontation was the match series of 1954-1958.
