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.

Extension Heuristics

Authors: Anantharaman, T.S.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: This article lists a number of extension heuristics which will be evaluated in terms of the performance metric described in Anantharaman (1991), specifically that of line 11 in Table 2. The heuristics have all been implemented in the Deep Thought program used for the experiments, but not all are present in the (older) version of Deep Thought that was used to earn a USCF rating of 2551 in tournament games against human players. After describing each heuristic algorithmically, some implementation details are provided where appropriate, and finally the experimental result for the heuristic is discussed. All experimental results are tabulated … Show more

Database Results for KQKRN and KQKRB Annotated

Authors: Mednis, Edmar

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: At the author’s request Belle analysed the pawnless endgames KQKRN and KQKRB. Results are communicated here and the endgames are shown to be in contrast. While for KQKRN all those positions not leading to routine draws provide us with easily understood algorithms, for KQKRB no such immediate transfer from database results to algorithm play was possible. Here, won positions require awkward or even bizarre move sequences to enforce the win.

Checkers: A Preview of What Will Happen in Chess?

Authors: Schaeffer, Jonathan

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The checkers program Chinook has earned the right to challenge for the World Checkers Championship. The experiences gained in developing the program and preparing for the match illustrate several important obstacles to successfully mounting a challenge to the human World Champion. These points appear to be directly applicable to chess, and the checkers experience may well be a preview of what is to come in chess.
