| Jul-28-03 | | PVS: chessgames.com Am I correct in assuming that D Levy (2320) who has 12 games in the database from 1969-1985 is the same player and David N L Levy (SCO) who has 12 from 1966-1971 and David N L Levy who has 2 from 1970 and David Levy who has 6 from 1969-1978? The chap who worte the book on Chess and Computers. |

 | | Benzol: I was just reading the Obituaries page in the Weekly Telegraph and had to do a double take when I saw that David Levy had died.
It was, however, a David John Levy that passed away not the Scottish IM. |
|
| Apr-04-05 | | biglo: I am surprised that the potted biography does not mention Levy's involvement in computer chess / his bet about a computer beating him. |

| Mar-14-07 | | jahhaj: Where are Levy's games against Chess 4.7? That match was a huge event in the development of computer chess. Even on the 4 7 CHESS (Computer) page no-one seems to remember this match. It's quite sad really. |
|
| Mar-14-07 | | chessamateur: <jahhaj> I have a book that contains those games with a small amount of commentary by David Levy. I should soon submit them. |
|
| Mar-14-07 | | jahhaj: <chessamateur> Good stuff, I used to have a book with the games (long gone now). I should enjoy playing through them again. If I recall correctly his one loss was the first loss by an IM against a computer under true match conditions. |
|
| Mar-17-07 | | chessamateur: <jahhaj>
This is true. In that game Levy wanted to beat the computer at its own game rather than his own positional approach. I should get around to submitting them in a few days. |

| Oct-15-07 | | Caissanist: David Levey's PhD thesis in robotics is proving to be rather controversial. Among other things, he is predicting (seriously?) that the state of Massachusetts will legalize marriage between humans and robots in the year 2050. http://news.scotsman.com/scitech.cf...

 | | WannaBe: Why does that remind me so much of an episode of Futurama?? |
|
| Oct-15-07 | | Shams: well, I for one welcome our new robot sex brides. |
|

| | WannaBe: Gives new meaning to "Mail Ordered Bride", that's for sure. |
|
| Oct-15-07 | | Shams: remember "Cherry 2000", the awful (I've seen it five times) sci-fi movie about the dude and his robot lover? featuring Melanie Griffith as the bush pilot, herself not a robot but an actual woman-- not that you'd know it by her acting. |
|

| | WannaBe: <Shams> No, but I've seen "Blade Runner", does that count? It's kinda close... |
|
| Jun-15-08 | | pazzed paun: anybody being following Levy's recent statements at the recent AI conference? |
|
| Sep-29-08 | | jerseybob: I heard Levy being interviewed on the radio a couple months back and some of his statements were, er, interesting. To fill in a little more bio info for PVS, Levy lived in NYC for a time in the mid-60's and in either '64 or '65 came in third in the City Junior Championship behind Soltis and Browne. |
|
| Oct-03-08 | | Karpova: David Levy's article <Brain Games: The Full Truth> with an introduction by Yasser Seirawan : http://www.chesscafe.com/text/skitt...
As Seirawan writes in his introduction:
<Once more IM David Levy explains the extraordinary circumstances that led up to the creation of Brain Games and how it came into being. His tale is a woeful one of intrigue and dirty
dealing.>

I prefer to win one way or the other. :D |

"Raymundo contra Mundum"

|
| Nov-09-10 | | wordfunph: "Once, in Portugal, I played in a tournament at which the strongest players, the organizers, and their friends had accommodations in a first-class hotel while the rest of us were valued at the two stars less and had to put up with food that frequently contained flies (some alive, some dead)." - IM David Levy |

 | | HeMateMe: I remember when Omni magazine offerred the $5,000 prize money for a program that could beat Levy. Omni mag was pretty cool; it was a blend of science and sci fi, very readable. Part of the Bob Guccionne (Penthouse magazine) empire, it was cancelled due to poor circulation. |
|
| Mar-05-12 | | whiteshark: "I recall it being suggested to Ray some years ago that he had sold his soul to the devil. He actually quite liked that idea, and probably considers that the devil paid way over the going rate." ~ David Levy |
|
| Mar-05-12 | | King Death: <whiteshark> The subject of the quote is (I assume) <ray keene>. Levy can say what he wants but if I understand things right he has a few things to answer for himself. Maybe he should remember the one about stones and glass houses.... |
