23/06/2021 – El programador de Komodo Dragon 2, Larry Kaufman era un broker exitoso a mediados de los años 1980. Ganaba dinero suficiente como para retirarse hasta el final de su vida, leyendo libros en una tumbona. Pero en lugar de ello, ganó el Campeonato de Veteranos en 2008 y obtuvo el título de gran maestro de ajedrez cuando ya tenía más de 60 años. Ha programado varios módulos de ajedrez: Machack, Rybka y, por supuesto, la serie de los módulos "Komodo". Kaufman aparte de jugar muy bien al ajedrez también es especialista en la variante china del juego, el shogi. Ha escrito varios libros, siendo el más reciente "Chess Board Options" que salió a la venta hace una semana. Nuestro colega Arne Kähler ha grabado una vídeo entrevista con Larry Kaufman.| Fotos: Larry Kaufman

Larry Kaufman acaba de publicar su nuevo libro de ajedrez:
"This engrossing memoir is rife with stories and anecdotes about dozens of famous and not-so-famous chess players. In one of the most remarkable chapters Larry Kaufman reveals that the American woman chess player that inspired Walter Tevis to create the Beth Harmon character of Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit fame, is his former girlfriend. You will learn about neural networks, material values and how being a chess master helps when trading options. And find lots of memorable but little-known annotated games.
Larry Kaufman is an American Grandmaster. He has been involved in computer chess since 1967, when he worked on ‘MacHack’, the first computer that competed in tournaments with human players. More recently he has been working on the programs Rybka and Komodo." - Newinchess.com
