The ICGA Journal provides an international forum for computer games researchers presenting new results on ongoing work. The editors invite contributors to submit papers on all aspects of research related to computers and games. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: 

 
(1) the current state of game-playing programs for classic and modern board and card games
(2) the current state of virtual, casual and video games
(3) new theoretical developments in game-related research, and
(4) general scientific contributions produced by the study of games.

Also welcome is research on topics such as:
(5) social aspects of computer games
(6) cognitive research of how humans play games
(7) capture and analysis of game data, and
(8) issues related to networked games are invited to submit their contributions.

Root Evaluation Errors: How they Arise and Propagate

Authors: Althöfer, Ingo

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Theoretical models of error propagation in game trees have been investigated by many researchers. This paper outlines the main ideas of a proof that present generalized backing-up schemes are no better error-correctors than minimax.

Butterfly Boards

Authors: Hartmann, Dap

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: In this paper a method is described of recording chess moves in a 64 × 64 array. A graphical representation of this array in which impossible moves are black is dubbed Butterfly Board because butterfly-like patterns appear in them. Two move-ordering heuristics using Butterfly Boards are discussed and compared with Killer Heuristic and Refutation-Table techniques.

Querg Chess

Authors: White, John F.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Extrapolating from several microcomputer implementations at moderate speed with correspondingly constraint depths of search and complexity of evaluation functions, the author is led to conjecture that there is no difference between – deep search and superficial evaluation, and – shallow search and complicated evaluation, though deeper search may provide stronger resistance to human opponents. deep search and superficial evaluation, and shallow search and complicated evaluation,
