Georgy Adelson-Velsky

Georgy Maximovich Adelson-Velsky (Russian: Гео́ргий Макси́мович Адельсо́н-Ве́льский; name is sometimes transliterated as Georgii Adelson-Velskii), (b. 8 January 1922) is a Russian mathematician and computer scientist. Along with E.M. Landis, he invented the AVL tree in 1962.

In 1965, Adelson-Velsky headed the development of a computer chess program at the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics in Moscow. The program defeated Kotok-McCarthy in the first chess match between computer programs, and evolved into Kaissa, the first world computer chess champion.

He currently resides in Ashdod, Israel.
