Botvinnik´s ideas were highly original and led to
many stimulating publications on computer chess.
Unfortunately Botvinnik´s most active period as a
researcher into computer chess coincided with the
era when access to computer time in the Soviet Union
was severely limited.Had he been given access to
virtually unlimited amounts of time on powerful
computers,there is no telling how much he and his
programmers could have achieved.  David Levy and
Monty Newborn,1991

Botvinnik has always been a firm believer that a
computer can become World Champion.
