Lars Rasmussen, a Danish chess player and programmer, endgame and early endgame tablebase researcher with interests in maximals and mutual zugzwang. Along with David Forthoffer and primary author Sito Dekker, he contributed to the automated database generation program Retro, considering both en passant and castling , which revealed five discrepancies in KRKB from the numbers published by Jaap van den Herik and Bob Herschberg, et al.. Lars Rasmussen wrote an MS-DOS routine for John Roycroft to search text for the extended GBR code, which, when located, was thoroughly tested for self-consistency. He further developed the ChessBase interface program to access the Thompson's Databases, and is author of an engine solving pawn endgames.
