Johannes Zwanzger [1] Johannes Zwanzger,

a German mathematician with a Ph.D. from University of Bayreuth, chess programmer and chess player [2], since 2013 playing for FC Bayern München in the German Chess Bundesliga [3] [4]. His research interests include construction of discrete structures, especially linear codes, the use of heuristics in general, and chess programming. Johannes is author of the chess program Jonny, which competed at all World Computer Chess Championships since Graz 2003, and became World Computer Chess Champion at the WCCC 2015 in Leiden.
