He began working in artificial intelligence and other applied topics in the late 1950s.[1] Along with
Beginning in 1963, Adelson-Velsky headed the development of a computer chess program at the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics in Moscow. His innovations included the first use of bitboards (a now-common method for representing game positions) in computer chess.[4] The program defeated Kotok-McCarthy in the first chess match between computer programs, also in 1966,[4] and it evolved into Kaissa, the first world computer chess champion.[5]
In August 1992, Adelson-Velsky moved to Israel, and he resided in Ashdod.[1]
He worked as a professor in the department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Bar Ilan University.
Adelson-Velsky died on 26 April 2014, aged 92, in his apartment in
