SOME PRACTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR GLOBAL SEARCH IN GO

Authors: Chen, Keh-Hsun

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: A position evaluation and a candidate-move-generation strategy for global selective search in Go are described. Moreover, some Go-specific enhancements to the basic global selective alpha-beta game-tree search procedure are discussed. Finally, empirical results on the performance of the enhancements are presented.

KQQKQP and KQPKQP≈

Authors: Karrer, Peter

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Inspired by the game between World Champion Garry Kasparov and the “Rest of the World”, the author has constructed a set of 6-man Endgame Tables for positions with King, Queen and a single Pawn on each side. The tables have the restriction that underpromotions in 6-man positions are not considered2 ; nevertheless, they have been shown to be extremely useful in post-mortem analysis of the Kasparov-World game. As a follow-up project, KQQKQP (without promotion restrictions) was produced; this is the first 6-man EGT with Pawns that has been computed. The EGTs were produced using a modified version of … Show more

COMPUTER CHESS MEETS PLANNING

Authors: Brockington, Mark

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Recently many papers have been published on how to improve the A* planning algorithm. A number of these papers are from ex-computer-chess practitioners. This paper attempts to summarize some of the enhancements to A*, and shows why a “computer chess”-style A* approach may be considered to be profitable when implementing A*.
