Restoration of Pont Neuf

Quote from The Pont Neuf - Appendix/Biography ^[9] ^[10] :

Ben Mittman is a retired professor of computer science and information systems at Northwestern University and former director of Northwestern's Vogelback Computing Center. His interest in black and white photography began some fifty years ago while living in Paris. Ben and his wife, Barbara, currently spend half the year in Paris where he continues his photographic activities. ^[11]

Mittman's latest project, which began in 1994, is photographing the restoration of the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris. The restoration, which was completed at the end of April 2007, is the subject of an exhibit of his photos to be held in the Mairie (Town Hall) of the 6th arrondissement of Paris in October-November of 2007.

Jim Schuyler

Quote by "Sky" Jim Schuyler September 24, 2007 ^[12] :

Ben Mittman, my dissertation advisor and mentor from Northwestern University (from whence my PhD degree) has been living half of each year in Paris since he took an early retirement, and has been chronicling the restoration of the Pont Neuf (the “new bridge”) which was completed in 1607. The Northwestern University Library has a special section on its web site that describes the bridge and the project.

Ben has created this record of the restoration process using only black & white film. A rarity these days, but one that I think is in keeping with the spirit of this 400-year-old construction. He began his project in 1994 and the restoration was completed in April 2007.

There’s a lot of history at this web site, but the photograph collection is particularly notable. And one of the most interesting parts of the restoration is the resculpting of over half of the 384 mascarons (faces or masks) that adorn the sides of the bridge.

I can’t say enough about what Ben’s support of my work and that of other students meant to us at the Vogelback Computing Center of Northwestern in the 1960s and 1970s. The luxury of having essentially unlimited computing time available – and then when I was on staff of having almost unlimited access to the supercomputer after midnight every night – was what allowed a select group of us to make progress on projects that otherwise would have never happened! Without this, Atkin, Gorlen and Slate would never have written Chess 1.0 which became the first world champion chess-playing program. And I would never have gotten Northwestern into computer-aided-instruction (otherwise known as e-learning) and computer conferencing. Thanks, Ben! ^[13]

Jaap van den Herik

Quote by Jaap van den Herik, 2007 ^[14] :

In 1978 Ben Mittman and Barend Swets started the ICCA Newsletter. It was specialized on chess. Owing to the series of Advances in Computer Chess Conferences, which in 1999 changed to Advances in Computer Games Conferences, the ICCA Journal broadened its scope, too, and published articles on other games. This can be seen as a generalization. As a direct consequence, the Journal was renamed into ICGA Journal.

David Levy

David Levy on Ben Mittman's photo exhibition in Paris, November 23rd, 2007 ^[15] :

The City of Paris undertook a major project starting in the mid-1990s to totally restore the oldest bridge in Paris, the Pont Neuf. The restoration ended this year, coinciding with the 400th anniversary of the bridge's completion in 1607. During the entire period of the restoration, Ben Mittman documented the work in black and white photography.

There are thirty-four bridges that cross the Seine in Paris. They consist of the usual road and sidewalk variety, as well as five foot bridges, two viaducts for the metro, and two auto-route crossings. In 1988, the City of Paris took over ownership of the bridges from the State, and embarked on a multi-year renovation plan that included the complete restoration of the Pont Neuf — a project that would take almost fifteen years to complete.

The Pont Neuf was in very bad shape, having had its previous major restoration in the mid-19th century. The photo below shows what the blacked and broken stonework looked like in 1994, when scaffolding was erected on the first arch of the petit bras.

Ben's photo exhibition is at the Mairie in the 6th arondissement, just a few minutes walk from our hotel in Rue Jacob, and ends tomorrow after a run of almost six weeks. A few hours after we arrived at Gare du Nord we had the pleasure of being shown around the exhibition by Ben himself, followed by drinks and a great dinner with the Mittmans. There is definitely something to be said for hedonism.

The Gambler

The Levy Bet

		In 1968, Donald Michie, founder of the Department of Machine Intelligence and Perception at the University of Edinburgh, invited Levy, already a strong international chess player and graduated computer scientist, to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) workshop in Edinburgh ^[6] . Levy played a friendly game of chess against John McCarthy, which Levy won. McCarthy remarked that David was able to beat him, but predicted a computer program would beat David within ten years. David then offered the famous bet, that within that time no chess program would beat him in a tournament match. McCarthy took the bet after consulting Michie ^[7] . The two made a 500 Pound bet, which was later more than doubled when Donald Michie, Seymour Papert from MIT and Ed Kozdrowicki from the University of California, joined in the wager ^[8] . David Levy redeemed the bet ten years later, winning a match against Chess 4.7 in Toronto, 1978 ^[9] . He won a second 5 year bet in 1984, versus Cray Blitz, and then offered a price for the first computer chess team beating him. He finally got crashed 0-4 by Deep Thought in 1989 ^[10].
Cartoon by Jeff Ragsdale ^[11]

Did they all pay up?

Following letter by David Levy was published in the ICCA Newsletter, Vol. 2, No 1, February 1979:

Since my match in Toronto, last August and September, in which I won my ten years old bet, many people have asked me the inevitable question, "Did they all pay up?", meaning the four people with whom I made the bet. I should like to use the pages of the Newsletter to answer this question and to save people from writing to me or asking me about it.

Donald Michie, John McCarthy and Seymour Papert all paid promptly and with good sportsmanship, just as I would have done had I lost. Edward Kozdrowicki, currently of the Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, California, has not paid and has refused to respond in a positive fashion to a number of telephone calls and letters.

I trust that this answers all questions relating to the payment of the bet.

Advent of EGT

CHAOS failed

Quote by David Levy from his Computer Chess Compendium, The Endgame, pp. 293-294:

The Ending of KRPKR, first attracted the attention of chess programmers in 1974. I was talking to the programmers of CHAOS, during the ACM 1974 in San Diego, and they expressed doubt at my statement that within a year they would not be able to program a computer to play this configuration correctly for both sides, winning with the extra pawn whenever a win was possible, drawing with a pawn less whenever the game really should end in a draw. The discussion closed with a $100 bet, and at the following year's tournament they paid up, admitting that the task was so difficult that they had not even been able to start on it.

Thompson's Databases

The discussion on KRPKR at ACM 1974 further inspired Ken Thompson to work some 10 years on chess endgames and to develop the Thompson's Databases ^[12] :

The second tournament I was in was in San Diego in about '75, '74. And in that tournament David Levy, who is a famous chess personality, was the tournament director. And after the games we were in the bar talking and he was saying that "computers can't play endgames, even simple endgames and they never will." And he said "I am an expert in the rook and pawn against rook endgame and a computer will never play a rook and pawn against rook endgame." And so, I went to my room that evening and was calculating the numbers and came to the conclusion that this was doable, that you could solve that game, absolutely solve it by a different mechanism, you know, not by normal computer chess but by a different mechanism. You could just have the answer and look it up and make a table of everything you are supposed to do. And I came back the next day and told him about it and he say's "nah, it takes too many plys, you know", and I said "no, it is ply independent, this is a different method", so he say's "ah no" so he just "poo poo'd me" and I got sort of, angry is not the right word but I got, you know, you know, so I went home and I worked probably for about ten years on endgames.

Scotch versus Vodka

David Levy further on a second KRPKR bet in Computer Chess Compendium, The Endgame, pp. 293-294:

Being rather greedy, I made a similar bet with Dr. Arlazarov of Kaissa fame during the 1977 World Computer Championship in Toronto. This time the bet was a case of Scotch (if I lost) against a case of Vodka. We agreed that Yuri Averbakh, President of the U.S.S.R. Chess Federation and a renowned endgame expert, would act as arbiter. Just about one year later I heard that I owed Arlazarov a case of Scotch, and section 8.3 of this compendium describes how he and his colleagues collected the wager ^[13] .

WCCC and ICCA

WCCC

David Levy, already associated with Monroe Newborn and Ben Mittman from the early ACM Computer Chess Championships, was initiator and co-founder of the World Computer Chess Championship in 1974, as suggested by the Soviet programmers of Kaissa ^[14] :

Since 1972 (1970 Editor) in the USA and Canada were hold the yearly championships of North America among the chess programs, organized by the ACM. The team of Kaissa directed the organizers of these tournaments to the thought to conduct a world championship, whose organization within the framework its regular congress took upon itself.

ICCA

Three years later at the 2nd WCCC 1977 in Toronto, together with more enthusiastic chess programmers and suggested by Barend Swets, David Levy co-founded the International Computer Chess Association ICCA - Ben Mittman was elected as its first president. David Levy organized a lot of computer chess championships, acting as tournament director, reporter or as participant. He was founder and organizer of the Computer Olympiad and the Mind Sports Olympiads.

President

From 1986 to 1992, David Levy was president of the ICCA, then vice president until 1999 and since then until the present president again, since 2002 of the renamed ICGA ^[15] .

Computer Chess and AI Business

Intelligent Software

In 1979, along with his business partner Kevin O’Connell, David Levy founded Philidor Software, and in 1981 Intelligent Software ^[16] . Business was developing and trading dedicated chess computers ^[17] ^[18] and programs for home computers and PCs. Intelligent Software had several computer chess programmers under contract, Mark Taylor, David Broughton, Mike Johnson, Richard Lang and a Checkers programmer called Martin Bryant ^[19] . Primary business and trading partners were Eric Winkler ^[20] and Eric White ^[21] with their respective companies.

Intelligent Toys

David Levy is now CEO of Intelligent Toys Ltd., a London-based company founded in 2001 that develops toys that incorporate AI, and led the teams that won the Loebner Prize two times in 1997 and 2009 ^[22] ^[23] .

Programs

Levy is mentioned as co-author ^[24] of following chess programs, competing at ICCA-tournaments, while he actually was not a programmer but advisor:

CSS

Dieter Steinwender is editor in chief of the German computer chess magazine Computerschach und Spiele (CSS). Until 2005 it was a paper magazine with co-publisher and ChessBase co-founder Frederic Friedel. Today the magazine is available online ^[7] with Steinwender as sole publisher and editor in chief ^[8] and shareholder of Steinwender EDV-Beratung GbR ^[9] with the associated CSS-Shop ^[10] ^[11] . The close relationships between CSS and CSS-Shop and ChessBase, was criticized as cause of possible conflict of interests related to independent journalism and test-reports of computer chess products ^[12] .

AEGON 96

Dieter Steinwender participated at the Aegon 1996 human-machine championship, and demonstrated some Anti-Computerchess, especially in the game against Shredder ^[13] .

		G 6, (G-6, GSEI, g-sei) the Gruppo Scacchi e Informatica is the Italian Computer Chess Association, founded in 1999 by a group of Italian chess programmers. G 6 was soon opened, more generally, to the lovers of computer chess, not necessarily Italian, although it remains the official language. The group covers all aspects of chess programming, starting with the creation and optimization of chess engines up to the realization of the graphical user interface, tools and more. It deals with matters at all levels, for beginners and advanced programmers, as well as to provide practical support for the development of chess programs related to G 6 ^[1].
