Wim Pijls

Wim Pijls,
a Dutch computer scientist and professor at the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Economics, Erasmus University Rotterdam, since 2011 retired . He researched on various game tree search algorithms, in particular along with Arie de Bruin on Stockman's SSS* algorithm, which they declared "dead" at the 8th Advances in Computer Chess conference 1996 , due to its reformulation as a sequence of depth-first alpha-beta null window calls with transposition table aka MTD(f), as also elaborated along with Aske Plaat and Jonathan Schaeffer in several papers.
