Yen-Chi Chen, a Taiwanese computer scientist affiliated with the National Taiwan Normal University. His research interests include machine learning and computer games. He is author and co-author of Chinese Dark Chess, Surakarta, Outer-Open Gomoku, Othello and Nonogram playing and solving programs, participating and winning at ICGA and TAAI tournaments.

=Exact-Win-MCTS= Along with Shun-Shii Lin and Chih-Hung Chen, Yen-Chi Chen elaborated on an exact-win strategy for overcoming AlphaZero in a Monte-Carlo Tree Search, that makes use of sub-tree's information (WIN, LOSS, DRAW, and UNKNOWN) to prune unneeded moves to increase the opportunities of discovering the critical moves.
