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.

Singular Extensions: Adding Selectivity to Brute-Force Searching

Authors: Anantharaman, Thomas | Campbell, Murray | Hsu, Feng-hsiung

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: While the success of the new ACM 1987 North American Computer Chess Champion, ChipTest, has been frequently attributed to its greater search speed, there is evidence that the major factor is a new search-extension technique the program employed. In this paper, we describe this search extension technique which requires no domain-specific knowledge but is based on dynamic knowledge derived from the search and adds little overhead to the underlying brute-force search. Implementation issues and experimental results with ChipTest are presented.

Useful Statistics from Tournament Programs

Authors: Kaindl, Hermann

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: This paper emphasizes the need for gathering appropriate data to support a better theoretical understanding of the properties of the game trees searched in practice. Several parameters characterizing such trees are proposed, and sample statistics compiled with a competition program are presented.
