Rainer Feldmann, a German computer scientist, games researcher and former chess programmer. He was member of the research group of Burkhard Monien at the Paderborn University. Along with Peter Mysliwietz, Rainer Feldmann co-authored of the massive parallel chess program Zugzwang applying the Young Brothers Wait Concept, and the single processor program Alpha I. Rainer and Peter were also tournament organizers as well as participants and three times winner of the earlier International Paderborn Computer Chess Championships IPCCC. Rainer Feldmann holds a Ph.D. on Game Tree Search on Massively Parallel Systems and introduced Fail-High Reductions, as implemented in Zugzwang.
