Johannes Czech,
a German computer scientist and Ph.D. student at TU Darmstadt.
His research interests include deep learning models in search algorithms such as Monte-Carlo tree search [2].
He is primary author of the UCI compatible chess variant open source engine CrazyAra, with focus on playing Crazyhouse, and its classical chess counterpart ClassicAra.
CrazyAra started in summer 2018 as a semester project by Johannes Czech along with Moritz Willig and Alena Beyer for the course Deep Learning: Methods and Architectures at TU Darmstadt, and was entirely written in Python.
As subject of his master thesis [3],
Johannes Czech continued the development in porting the engine to C++ and to further apply reinforcement learning to Crazyhouse and other chess variants including Chess960.
