Home * People * Chrilly Donninger

Chrilly Donninger [1]

Christian (Chrilly) Donninger,
an Austrian computer scientist, statistician and professional computer chess, games and trading optimization programmer. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematical Statistics from Vienna University of Technology [2] [3] and worked at Institute of Advanced Studies, Vienna and Siemens, until he became freelance chess programmer in 1993. Chrilly is author and co-author of various chess programs, most notably Nimzo and the FPGA chess entity Hydra under the patronage of the Pal Group of Companies [4] and Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan [5] [6] of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, discontinued in 2006 [7], while Chrilly continued programming on the game theory related topic of bank trading optimization software for stock-markets [8]. Since 2007 he is chief scientist for the Sibyl financial project of PAL group, and maintains the Sibyl Godot Finance Server along with Steffen Jakob [9]. Besides, since 2010, Chrilly is lecturer in Quantitative Finance at the University of Jena [10].

Chrilly's Programs

Null Move

In 1993 Chrilly Donninger published the famous Null Move paper in the ICCA Journal [12] and made Null Move popular to a great audience of computer chess researchers and programmers. Since then, also due to the concrete implementation in pseudo C, Null Move became standard in modern chess programs.

232

Donninger developed the Auto232 protocol [13] [14] not only to interface with the external Chess 232 Board to make playing PC programs a dedicated experience, but to play automatic matches between different computers via the serial RS-232 communication ports. The Interface software was able to "hook" the input and output of various commercial PC chess programs. With the advent and wider distribution of the standardized computer chess protocols such as the Chess Engine Communication Protocol and the Universal Chess Interface, supported by graphical user interfaces as well as chess programs, Auto232 became more and more obsolete.

CHE

Chrilly introduced a Graphical Language for Expressing Chess Knowledge in Nimzo, CHE [15] [16], which was apparently used as a root-preprocessor [17]. Time Management issues were also on Chrilly's track [18] [19] .

Guernica

Nimzo Guernica [20] was Donninger's first program, a manifest of Chrilly's Anti-war engagement.

Éclat

Chrilly Donninger had strong objections and repugnance against the Iraq War, which began on March 20, 2003 with the United States-led invasion. His pacifism in conjunction with counter Americanism was justified by the traumatic experience of his father during World War II in Austria. Chrilly, at the same time somehow related with hosting of the upcoming Graz WCCC 2003 event, emotionally overacted and sent hatred e-mails to American computer chess programmers, which led to a boycott of the WCCC by those programmers and others, most notably by Bruce Moreland [21] . Chrilly later apologized, but the hurt was already too big.

Writer

Chrilly is regularly column writer in the German chess magazines KARL [22] and Kaissiber [23] . He also wrote for Modul, PC Schach, Computerschach und Spiele [24] and the ICGA Journal.
