Botvinnik’s interest in Computer Chess started in the 50s, favouring chess algorithms based on [[Claude Shannon|Shannon's]] selective [[Type B Strategy|type B strategy]], as discussed along with [[Max Euwe]] 1958 in Dutch Television <ref>[http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?tid=81282 Wageningen Caltex (1958)] from [http://www.chessgames.com/index.html chessgames.com]</ref>. Botvinnik served as a consultant to Soviet computer chess developers who developed the [[ITEP Chess Program]] at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow Moscow's] [[Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics]] (ITEP) which won a [[Stanford-ITEP Match|correspondence chess match]] against the [[Kotok-McCarthy-Program]] led by [[John McCarthy]] in 1967.

However, Botvinnik had his own ideas to model a Chess Master's Mind. After publishing and discussing his early ideas on [[Attack and Defend Maps|attack maps]] and [[Trajectory|trajectories]] at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_Centres Moscow Central Chess Club] <ref>[http://en.chessbase.com/home/TabId/211/PostId/4007513 The last day of the “Botvinnik Memorial”] by [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Denissowna_Burtassowa Anna Burtasova], [[ChessBase|ChessBase News]], September 07, 2011</ref> in 1966, with the skeptical [[Georgy Adelson-Velsky]] and others attending, he found [[Vladimir Butenko]] as supporter and collaborator. Butenko first implemented the [[Vector Attacks|15x15 vector attacks]] board representation on a [[M-20]] computer, [[Distance#15x15|determining trajectories]]. After Botvinnik introduced the concept of Zones in 1970, Butenko refused further cooperation and began to write his own program, dubbed [[Butenko's program|programEureka]] <ref>[http://atimopheyev.narod.ru/Frame/index.html Лингвистическая Геометрия] Бориса Штильмана, [http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=de&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://atimopheyev.narod.ru/Frame/index.html&usg=ALkJrhjGqyvJey-MTGqcGxzMU53Od0Y7VQ Linguistic Geometry] [[Boris Stilman]] by [[Alexander Timofeev]] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Translate Google Translate])
