a Swiss physicist at the [|cyclotron] facilities of the [|Paul Scherrer Institute] (PSI) in [|Villigen], [|Switzerland], before 1988 the //Swiss Institute for Nuclear Physic// (SIN). He received a Ph.D. in 1970 from ETH Zurich on the extraction of a 590 [|MeV] [|proton beam] from the SIN ring cyclotron, and was involved in developing of the [|Swiss Light Source].
 * Werner Joho**,

=Charly= In 1967/68, as Ph.D. student at ETH, along with Gerald Tripard and Gerhard Rudolf, Werner Joho was co-developer of the chess program Charly ("**C**hess **h**euristics and **a**lgorithms for **r**elaxing **l**azy **y**odelers") for a [|CDC 1604]. While the computer was basically used for calculations to design [|magnets] for the cyclotron, they used some extra weekend computer time for their work on chess. In 1968, they asked Richard Greenblatt for a match versus Mac Hack VI. Three games were played in October and November 1968 via [|ham radio], all won by Mac Hack VI.
