He also created the [[ABDADA]] non-synchronized, distributed search algorithm, apparently used in [[Frenchess]]. His 1995 Ph.D. thesis in French, ''Programmes d'Échecs de Championnat: Architecture Logicielle Synthèse de Fonctions d'Évaluations, Parallélisme de Recherche'', covers [[History|history]] of computer chess, a broad range of [[Search|search]] algorithms and [[Evaluation|evaluation]], audited beside others by [[Tony Marsland]] and [[Jacques Pitrat]].

Along with Jean-Christophe Weill already had experience in programing [[Othello]], when he decited to develop a chess program for the upcoming [[1st Computer Olympiad#Chess|1st Computer Olympiad]] in 1989. He found his friend and chess player [[Marc-François Baudot]], Jean-Christophe Weill is co-author of who already made first trials in chess programming, to help him with the [[Evaluation|positional evaluation]] to start their successful collaboration with following chess programs <ref>[http://www.recherche.enac.fr/~weill/chess.html A Short Story of JCW's Computer Chess Program]</ref> <ref>[https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/person.php?id=27 Jean-Christophe Weill's ICGA Tournaments]</ref>:
