Stephen+B.+Streater

a British computer scientist and technology entrepreneur. He holds a degree in mathematics from [|Trinity College, Cambridge] in 1987, but his Ph.D. in artificial intelligence and pattern recognition at [|King's College London] was interrupted by the chance to start [|Eidos] in 1990 -  which later became famous for games like [|Tomb Raider] and others - developing the [|Full Motion video (FMV)] compression techniques on [|RISC OS] platforms. He then sold Eidos to provide the start-up capital for //Forbidden Technologies//, which successfully floated in 2000, best known for their internet video platform and [|video editing software] [|Forscene]. Stephen B. Streater's interests in Go also manifests in //Forbidden Technologies// sponsoring the //Epsom Go Tournament//. toc =Computer Chess= Already in 1989, Stephen B. Streater began to write his chess program E6P for the ARM architecture of the Acorn Archimedes, to participate at the 1st Computer Olympiad 1989 in [|London]. Due to its author's expertise in optimization, targeting that [|RISC] platform, E6P was quite fast for that time, though positionally a bit half-cocked, causing some stir at the Olympiad with possible impact on the career of some Dutch programmers. As reported by its author a few years later during the MChess killer book discussion in rgcc, his program, at that time dubbed C_897d, was ported to a StrongARM processor, reaching 750,000 nodes per second.
