Steve W. Otto, an American computer scientist and former chess programmer. During the 80s, while affiliated with the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, Otto researched on parallel algorithms for nCUBE concurrent computers. Along with Ed Felten, Rod Morison and Rob Fatland, Steve Otto is co-author of the massive parallel chess program Waycool, which played three ACM North American Computer Chess Championships, the ACM 1986, ACM 1987 and ACM 1988, as well the WCCC 1989.
