The First Computer Olympiad was held from August 9 to 15, 1989, in the Ballroom of the Park Lane Hotel, London, United Kingdom, where already the first part of the World Chess Championship 1986 between Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov took place. Claude Shannon served in the award ceremony, handing the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals to the deserving. The First Computer Olympiad was associated by the Heuristic Programming in Artificial Intelligence workshop, with proceedings edited by David Levy and Don Beal, published by Ellis Horwood.
