'''Elwyn Ralph Berlekamp''', (born September 6, 1940)<br/>
an American electrical engineer, computer scientist and professor of Mathematics at the [[University of California, Berkeley]]. He finished his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] in 1964, where his thesis advisors were [[Mathematician#RGGallager|Robert G. Gallager]], [[Mathematician#PElias|Peter Elias]], [[Claude Shannon]] and [[Mathematician#JWozencraft|John Wozencraft]] <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elwyn_Berlekamp Elwyn Berlekamp from Wikipedia]</ref>. While undergraduate at MIT, Berlekamp was member of the chess group and worked on Chess Playing routines for the [[IBM 704]] Computer, also joined by [[Alan Kotok]] and others to build the [[Kotok-McCarthy-Program]] for the [[IBM 7090]]. Berlekamp dropped out of this project in 1960 and focused on [[Bridge]], [[Go]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_game_theory combinatorial game theory] <ref>[http://math.berkeley.edu/%7Eberlek/pubs/gamrep.html Games: Conference Proceedings and Technical Reports]</ref>.
=Winning Ways=

So there were a total of five people. There was the initial four were, besides me, [[Charles Niessen]], Chuck Niessen, whose these days is some sort of director over at Lincoln Lab. And [[Michael A. Lieberman|Mike Lieberman]], who is on the faculty at Berkeley. And [[Elwyn Berlekamp]], who is also Berkeley faculty, and fairly famous computer game theory person. Elwyn dropped out of this project at some point, and Bob Wagner, another so these were all sort of East Campus Model Railroad Club friends - and [[Robert A. Wagner|Bob Wagner]] is at, I think, University of North Carolina - what’s in Raleigh-Durham?
