Boris M. Stilman, a Russian mathematician, computer scientist, electrical engineer and AI-researcher. Since 1991 Professor of Computer Science at Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Colorado Denver and since 1999 Chairman & Ceo of STILMAN Advanced Strategies, Denver, CO, USA. [1]. From 1972 until 1988 Boris Stilman worked with Mikhail Botvinnik and Alexander Yudin et al. on the project Pioneer. The research and work on Pioneer took place at the State Committee for Science and Technology, Moscow, USSR, the National Research Institute for Electrical Engineering, Moscow, USSR and the USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow, USSR, together with Alexander Reznitskiy, Michael Tsfasman and Mikhail Chudakov. Short time visits with Botvinnik and Yudin took place in 1978 at University of Mannheim, Germany, and the University of Dortmund, Germany, as well at Control Data Corp., USA. Based on this research, Boris Stilman coined the term Linguistic Geometry [2] , a new type of game theory [3].
