'''Ralph Gasser''',<br/>
a Swiss computer scientist and software engineer at [[Google]] <ref>[https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralphgasser Ralph Gasser | LinkedIn]</ref>. He holds a Ph.D. in 1995 from [[ETH Zurich]] under [[Jürg Nievergelt]], where he researched on [[Search|exhaustive search]] and [[Retrograde Analysis|retrograde analysis]] in [[Games|computer games]], that is forward and backward search. In 1993, he solved the game [[Nine Men’s Morris]] that way, using retrograde analysis searching from the [[Terminal Node|terminal nodes]] and [[Alpha-Beta|alpha-beta]] from the [[Root|root]] <ref>[http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/cgt/morris.html Nine Men's Morris is a DRAW] by [[Ralph Gasser]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rec.games.chess, rec.games.go, rec.games.abstract]], November 23, 1993</ref>. His Nine Men’s Morris program [https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/program.php?id=441 Bushy] already won the Gold medal at the [[3rd Computer Olympiad#NineMensMorris|3rd Computer Olympiad, Maastricht 1991]].
