Fernand Gobet
Fernand Gobet [1]
Fernand Gobet,
a Swiss psychologist and international master in chess [2], professor of psychological sciences at University of Liverpool [3]. Former appointments include professor at Brunel University London, visiting researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, and lecturer at University of Nottingham. He holds a Ph.D. from University of Fribourg, Switzerland, The memories of a chessplayer (in French) in Psychology, 1992.
At Carnegie Mellon University, Gobet collaborated with Herbert Simon and together with Peter Jansen, member of the Deep Thought team, he wrote the pattern learning chess program CHUMP, which was introduced as A chess program based on a model of human memory [4] at the 7th Advances in Computer Chess conference, July 1-2, 1993. With Adriaan de Groot he wrote the book Perception and memory in chess [5].

Chunk Hierarchies
Fernand Gobet is principal investigator of CHREST, an acronym for Chunk Hierarchy and REtrieval STructures [6], and is a complete computational model for the processes of learning and perception used by human experts in a variety of domains. One application of CHREST was the pattern learning chess program CHUMP.
