Conspiracy-Number Search

Authors: van der Meulen, Maarten

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Conspiracy-number search (cn search) is a game-tree search algorithm. Differences between cn-search algorithms described in the literature are pointed out and three improvements are given. Moreover, we describe how to combine the increasing-thresholds algorithm with the iterative-deepening algorithm. An up-to-date implementation is described in detail. Experiments with this implementation suggest that SSS*, a game-tree search algorithm superior to α -β , is a weak version of en search. We present two sample game trees where en search outperforms or at least equals (cf. the Appendix) SSS*. The realization of the ideas in tournament programs is somewhat restricted and therefore called …applied en search. Show more

The Amateurs’ Book-Opening Routine

Authors: White, John F.

Article Type: Other

Abstract: An easy, memory-efficient method for storing readable book-openings is described. It achieves Its two objectives: to be easy to input and to be convenient to alter. The book has the additional advantage of being presented in a form easily edited for adequate perusal by human beings. It is especially applicable when memory is tight

Seconding a Grandmaster

Authors: Jansen, Peter | Schaeffer, Jonathan

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: For the recent Spraggett-Yusupov match, a quarter-final match for determining the next challenger to the human World Chess Champion, the chess machine Deep Thought was used for consultation by Spraggett. This article describes the experiences of computers being used to second a Grandmaster. Even though playing a small role in the match, Deep Thought demonstrated its potential for being a valuable resource To Increase Its usefulness, work must be done on designing a Grandmaster Interface to the program and improving the types and quality of information returned by the program
