ブントってヴント（Wilhelm Wundt (1832–1920)）とも、Max Wundt (* 29. Januar 1879 in Leipzig; † 31. Oktober 1963 in Tübingen)とも何の関係もなかったのか。
ヴントは心理学者。
マックス・ヴントはヴントの子で哲学者。

I’m intrigued that AI has by now succeeded in doing essentially everything that requires “thinking” but has failed to do most of what people and animals do “without thinking” – that, somehow, is much harder! I believe the knowledge gained while building AI programs is more important than the use of the programs. . .

The first six games of the rematch were drawn. Before game seven could be played,
Tinsley resigned the match, citing health reasons. According to the rules,
CHINOOK was declared the Man–Machine World Champion. (Soon after,Tinsley was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.) The match organizers arranged for play to continue in Boston by having Grand Master Don Lafferty play a challenge match against CHINOOK . CHINOOK retained its title because the match ended with one game for each and eighteen draws. Tinsley’s health improved sufficiently for him to ask for a rematch to reclaim his title, but he died in 1995 before it could take place.

Checkers is solved.
