an Indian computer scientist, technology executive/consultant in the [|Seattle] area, and former Microsoft manager and engineer. He wrote his master's thesis at [|University of Saskatchewan] in [|Saskatoon], [|Saskatchewan], [|Canada], on a first step towards building a chess [|tutor]. A prototype system, UMRAO, has been developed for the limited domain of bishop-pawn chess endgames.

=UMRAO= The research reported is aimed at investigating knowledge-based chess in the context of building a prototype chess tutor, which helps to learn how to play bishop-pawn endgames. In tutoring it is essential to take a knowledge-based approach, since students must learn how to manipulate strategic concepts, but not how to carry out minimax search. UMRAO uses an extension of Michie's advice language to represent expert and novice chess plans. For any given endgame the system is able to compile the plans into a strategy graph, which elaborates strategies that students might use as they solve the endgame problem. Strategy graphs can be compiled "off-line" so that they can be used in real time tutoring.
