Who is the world's most popular chess player?
The world's most popular chess player in the world was Bobby Fischer. Nowadays Garry Kasparov is very popular as well. EDIT: All true. However, Kasparov no longer plays competitive chess so his popularity, as far as a chess player, has waned, and Fischer is, well, dead. Currently the most popular Grandmasters are Vaselin Topalov, Vishy Anand, and Magnus Carlsen, and, if you are from the USA, Hikaru Nakamura. Currently, Vishy Anand is the reigning World Chess Champion recognized by FIDE. He won the undisputed title in 2008 against Vladimir Kramnik. This match was necessary as Anand was crowned the champion via being the victor in a Championship Tournament, not as a result of Match Play. The result against Kramnik put that 'dispute' to rest. Vaselin Topalov defeated Gata Kamsky to win the right to challenge Anand in the next championship match, which has yet to be scheduled in its finality. also Kasporov
Who is the greatest chess world champion?
That certainly is a matter of conjecture and debate; however here are a few thoughts. Garry Kasparov is widely considered as the best chess champion because he is probably the strongest player. Emanuel Lasker held the chess champion title for 27 years, longer than any other person; however, he did not have very many challenges. Alexander Alekhine held the title for 17 years and is thought to be the strongest player of his day. Kasparov chose him as the player to study from most. Paul Morphy was never the chess champion on a formal basis since at his time there was none. Informally he was acknowledged to be the best player in his time and some chess greats refused to play him. Bobby Fischer chose him as the player to study from the most. To be sure, there are many others who deserve consideration in this answer, but this enough for now.

Who started artificial intelligence research?
Answer: A papyrus from circa: 3000 BC was bought in a Luxor antique shop by Edwin Smith in 1882 that presented 48 surgical observations of head wounds. The observations were stated in "symptom-diagnosis-treatment-prognosis" combinations as: IF a patient has this symptom, THEN he has this injury with this prognosis if this treatment is applied. This was the first known expert system. However, artificial intelligence (AI), as we know it today, is basically a computer program that learns by mistake. If it does something that is wrong, it re-programs itself to do it right. While there have been several attempts at creating an artificial intelligence computer, the best known case involved an artificial intelligence computer, researched and built by IBM in late 1995 and affectionately called Deep Blue. IBM's Deep Blue was pitted in a chess match against Garry Kasparov, a Russian grand chess master, in 1997 and surprisingly, Kasparov lost the match. Side note: Unbeknown to Garry Kasparov, IBM had hired several US chess masters to play chess games against Deep Blue. Whenever Deep Blue would lose a match due to a move that had not been programmed into its data base; Deep Blue would simply add that move into its data files and as such, could never be defeated by that same combination of moves again. Having gone through this process with various chess master for the better part of a year, IBM and in particular, Deep Blue were virtually 100% confident of not being able to be beaten.
