While programming HiTech, Berliner was having trouble implementing board evaluation. He decided that to explore the problem, he should write an evaluation function for another game: backgammon. The result was BKG 9.8, which became the first program to defeat a world champion in any game when it defeated Luigi Villa in June 1979.
