[4] Monty Newborn received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from The Ohio State University in 1967.
His chess program, Ostrich, competed in five world championships dating back to 1974.
A notable quote by Newborn on the science of chess AI programming occurred in 2006: “I don’t know what one could get out of it at this point.
The science is done,” Monty Newborn, Dec. 2006 in reference to world champion Vladimir Kramnik’s loss to Deep Fritz, 4-2, and the prospect of further human-computer matches.
Newborn was belatedly correct; as of 2021, that was the last serious attempt by a world class player to defeat a top chess machine/program.
