a Russian computer scientist graduated from [|Novosibirsk State University] in 1968, and early chess programmer. In 1966, Butenko met Mikhail Botvinnik at [|Moscow Central Chess Club], discussing his early ideas on computer chess concerning attack maps and trajectories and that like. They soon began to collaborate.
 * Vladimir (Volodya) Butenko**,

=Vector Attacks= Butenko worked with Botvinnik on a forerunner of a program, in 1977 dubbed Pioneer, and first implemented the 15x15 vector attacks board representation with trajectory determination. The program was developed and ran on a M-20 computer.

=Butenko's Program= After Botvinnik introduced his concept of Zones in 1970, Butenko refused further cooperation and began to write his own program, which was reported a good computer chess player in the 70s. Butenko was invited to play the First Soviet Computer-Chess Championship 1988 with his program, but he required a mainframe, which apparently was not feasible to arrange.
