"One Jump Ahead: Computer Perfection at Checkers" - How Dr. Schaeffer's team came up with Chinook, the program that became world champion at checkers. Later the team went on to solve checkers (like tic tac toe is a "solved" game). Some of the book is about researching new algorithms etc, but a large chunk is about programming, debugging etc. Very enjoyable read.
