Christoph Wirth, a Swiss computer scientist and software engineer. While affiliated with ETH Zurich, Wirth investigated retrograde analysis for endgame tablebases with Depth to Mate (DTM) and Depth to Conversion (DTC) metrics. In collaboration with Guy Haworth, John Tamplin and Peter Karrer, data on percentage results, maximals and mutual zugzwangs, has been filed and made available on the web, as have the DTM EGTs.
