Shi-Jim+Yen

a Taiwanese 6-dan Go player, computer scientist, professor at Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, [|National Dong Hwa University], [|Hualien], and standing director of the Taiwanese Computer Game Association (TCGA), and director of the Taiwanese Association for Artificial Intelligence (TAAI). He received his Ph.D. degree in CS and [|information engineering] from National Taiwan University in 1999. His research interests include artificial intelligence and computer games with focus on Go, Chinese Chess, Connect6 and Othello. In 2012, he invented Outer-Open Gomoku, which has the same rules as free-style Gomoku, but restricts Black to play at the two outer rows or columns of the board for the first move. || toc =Programs= Shi-Jim Yen is author and co-author of the Go programs [|Star of DongHwa], [|Jimmy], and [|Coldmilk], which is also able to play [|NoGo], further the Chinese Chess program Shiga, and the Chinese Dark Chess programs [|Modark] and [|Diablo], the Connect6 programs [|Kavalan] and [|X6], and finally [|Cpuzzler] which competed in Light Up, [|Nurikabe], Nonograms ICGA tournaments. Along with Tsan-Cheng Su and Shun-Chin Hsu, Shi-Jim Yen is co-author of the Othello program //Tower of Othello//, which won silver at TAAI 2013 and the gold medal (shared) at TCGA 2014.
