Oliver Brausch, a German physicist, computer scientist, and IT-architect. He holds a Ph.D. in physics from University of Bayreuth on the topic of Rayleigh–Bénard convection. As avocational computer chess programmer, Oliver is author of OliThink, an open source chess engine with C and Java versions available, whose evaluation consists almost of material balance and mobility. Oliver's stance to mobility was likely due to his background in statistical physics concerning entropy.
