Ruslan Sinulla Ogly Hajiev, an Azerbaijani psychologist and computer scientist. In 1975, while affiliated with the Republican Information and Computing Centre, Ministry of Health of the Azerbaijan SEER, Baku, he tried to identify typical tactical motifs by observing the chess master's eye movement when searching for a forced combination in a given position displayed on a large demonstration board. Hajiev reported that he was indeed able to derive from experimental data some important tactical relations which he later implemented in a chess-playing program. He gave examples of tactical positions in which his program was able to simulate the master's behavior with striking efficacy.
