"The weakest player ever to develop a strong chess program was Claude Jarry. Jarry developed L'EXCENTRIQUE while an undergraduate student at McGill in the late 1970s. L'EXCENTRIQUE's shining moment came at the 1980 World Championship in Linz, Austria where it defeated the reigning World Champion CHESS 4.9 in the first round. Jarry a fantastic programmer, knew so little about chess that the only way he could tell whether L'EXCENTRIQUE was winning or losing was by reading the score provided by the program after each move."
