'''Mark Henricus Maria Winands''',<br/>
a Dutch computer scientist, [[Games|games]] researcher and associate professor at [[Maastricht University]]. Along with [[I-Chen Wu]] and [[Tristan Cazenave]], Mark is [[ICGA Journal#board|Editor-in-Chief]] of the [[ICGA Journal]], and an associate editor of [[IEEE#TOCIAIGAMES|IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games]] <ref>[https://dke.maastrichtuniversity.nl/m.winands/ Mark Winands Homepage]</ref>. He is author of various game playing programs, most notably his [[Lines of Action]] program [https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/program.php?id=116 MIA] <ref>[http://www.personeel.unimaas.nl/m-winands/loa/ Mark's LOA Homepage]</ref> <ref>[http://ilk.uvt.nl/icga/games/Loa/ ICGA: Lines of Action] by Mark Winands</ref>, successfully competing at [[ICGA]] tournaments <ref>[https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/person.php?id=42 Mark Winands' ICGA Tournaments]</ref>. Mark researched on [[Proof-Number Search]], and introduced [[Enhanced Forward Pruning]] <ref>[[Mark Winands]], [[Jaap van den Herik]], [[Jos Uiterwijk]] and [[Erik van der Werf]] ('''2003'''). ''Enhanced forward pruning.'' Accepted for publication.

'''Mark Henricus Maria Winands''',<br/>
a Dutch computer scientist, [[Games|games]] researcher and associate professor at [[Maastricht University]]. Along with [[I-Chen Wu]] and [[Tristan Cazenave]], Mark is [[ICGA Journal#board|Editor-in-Chief]] of the [[ICGA Journal]], and an associate editor of [[IEEE#TOCIAIGAMES|IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games]] <ref>[https://dke.maastrichtuniversity.nl/m.winands/ Mark Winands Homepage]</ref>. He is author of various game playing programs, most notably his [[Lines of Action]] program [https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/program.php?id=116 MIA] <ref>[http://www.personeel.unimaas.nl/m-winands/loa/ Mark's LOA Homepage]</ref> <ref>[http://ilk.uvt.nl/icga/games/Loa/ ICGA: Lines of Action] by Mark Winands</ref>, successfully competing at [[ICGA]] tournaments <ref>[https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/person.php?id=42 Mark Winands' ICGA Tournaments]</ref>. Mark researched on [[Proof-Number Search]], and introduced [[Enhanced Forward Pruning]] <ref>[[Mark Winands]], [[Jaap van den Herik]], [[Jos Uiterwijk]] and [[Erik van der Werf]] ('''2003'''). ''Enhanced forward pruning.'' Accepted for publication. [http://www.personeel.unimaas.nl/m-winands/documents/Enhanced%20forward%20pruning.pdf pdf]</ref>, which applies [[Pruning|Forward Pruning]] Techniques, like [[Null Move Pruning]] and [[Multi-Cut]], not only at expected [[Node Types#CUT|Cut-Nodes]], but also at expected [[Node Types#ALL|All-Nodes]] with slight modifications on a [[Principal Variation Search]] framework, and the [[Relative History Heuristic]] <ref>[[Mark Winands]], [[Erik van der Werf]], [[Jaap van den Herik]], [[Jos Uiterwijk]] ('''2004''').
