Don Dailey (March 10, 1956 – November 22, 2013) was an American researcher in computer chess and a game programmer.[note 1] Along with collaborator Larry Kaufman, he was the author of the chess engine Komodo. Dailey started chess programming in the 1980s, and was the author and co-author of multiple commercial as well as academic chess programs. He has been an active poster in computer chess forums and computer Go newsgroups.[1] He was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and served in recent years as an elder in the church of Roanoke.[2]
In October 2013, Dailey announced the release of Komodo 6, but also news concerning the future status of Komodo due to his fatal illness of an acute form of leukemia,[3] and introduced Mark Lefler as new member of the Komodo team.[4] Dailey died of leukemia at the age of 57 on November 22, 2013.[5]
