Michael (Mike) Bain,
a computer scientist and senior lecturer at School of Computer Science & Engineering, University of New South Wales in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. His research interests include machine learning, inductive logic programming, behavioural cloning, concept analysis and bioinformatics ^[1].

Learning KRK

In 1994, Michael Bain defended his Ph.D. thesis in machine learning at University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, titled Learning Logical Exceptions in Chess which covers the endgame KRK ^[2]. Donald Michie had employed him at the Turing Institute, until 1993 associated with Strathclyde ^[3], to work on the US Army chess project, and where he researched on machine learning along with Jean Hayes Michie, Stephen Muggleton and Ivan Bratko ^[4].
