Mark Diamond asks:

  Does anyone know the name of the IBM researcher who was said to have been
  working on a neural-net to play backgammon?  Does anyone know where the
  research was written up??

His name is Gerald (Gerry) Tesauro.  Here are some citations of his work:

G. Tesauro, "Temporal Difference Learning of Backgammon Strategy," Proceedings
of the Ninth International Workshop on Machine Learning, 1992, pp. 451-457.
Morgan-Kaufmann Publishers, San Mateo, CA.

G. Tesauro, "Neurogammon: a Neural Network Backgammon Program." International
Joint Conference on Neural Networks Proceedings III, pp. 33-39 (1990)

G. Tesauro & T. Sejnowski, "A Parallel Network that Learns to Play Backgammon."
Artificial Intelligence 39:357-390 (1989).

Training," in D. Touretzky (ed) Advances in Neural Information Processing 1,
pp. 99-106.  Morgan-Kaufmann Publishers, San Mateo, CA. (1989)

According to the first citation, he can be reached at:
