I think you're thinking of "Samuel".  I believe his method wasn't self-learning per se,
he programmed a checkers system with lots of weighted values, and set the values for
all the weights by analyzing a lot of games.  I'm not sure how automatic the process
was.

Here are a couple of references that were easy to dredge up.
