AllenHuntShow_Guest31 David Levy
David Neil Lawrence Levy (b. March 14, 1945), in London, is a Scottish International Master chess player and businessman, noted for his involvement with computer chess, the Computer Olympiads (founder), and the Mind Sports Olympiads (founder). He has written more than 40 books on chess and computers. In 1972, at the Skopje Chess Olympiad, he played Board 1 for the Scottish team. David won the Scottish Chess Championship in 1968.

In 1968 he started a landmark wager with four Artificial Intelligence (AI) luminaries that no computer program would win a chess match against him within 10 years. In 1978 he won that bet by defeating the Northwestern University computer program Chess 4.7 in a six-game match. These events led to a prize of $5,000 offered by Omni magazine to the authors of the first chess program to defeat Levy. Levy was defeated in 1989 by Deep Thought.

David is the author of Love & Sex With Robots

Quotes to Live By
"Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desire, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."
-C.S. Lewis
