Stanislaw+Ulam

a Polish mathematician, known for his participation in the [|Manhattan Project], the [|Teller-Ulam design] [|of thermonuclear weapons] and the [|Fermi–Pasta–Ulam experiment]. A group of H-bomb researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory around Stanislaw Ulam, Paul Stein, Mark Wells and John Pasta developed the chess-playing program for the [|MANIAC I] by John von Neumann and [|Nicholas Metropolis]. It played [|Los Alamos chess] on a 6×6 board without bishops. || toc =Quotes=
