Thomas Robert Lincke,
a Swiss American computer scientist and Ph.D. from ETH Zurich. His Ph.D. thesis titled Exploring the Computational Limits of Large Exhaustive Search Problems 1 covers new techniques in retrograde analysis and opening book construction and their position-value representation with additional information of at-least-draw, at-most-draw, and cycle-draw in the games of Amazons, Awari, Checkers, Chess, Nine Men’s Morris and Othello. Thomas Lincke was member of Jürg Nievergelt’s research group 2, and is author of the Awari program Marvin, winner of the gold medal of the 5th Computer Olympiad 2000 in London.
