Oracle
In his 1996 ICCA Journal paper on CHE, Chrilly Donninger mentions Kaare Danielsen as inventor of the pre-processing Oracle approach for his program CXG Advanced Star Chess. However, there was also the famous Pre Scan Heuristics by David Kittinger as implemented in Super Constellation, and the whole idea was originally implemented in the program Tech by James Gillogly in the late 1960s.
