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.

Tutoring Strategies in Game-Tree Search

Authors: Iida, Hiroyuki | Handa, Ken-ichi | Uiterwijk, Jos

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Pursuing the idea of a good working knowledge of one’s opponent model (OM search), loss-oriented search (LO search) goes beyond OM search in occasionally presenting the opponent with an intentional give-away move. When this model is extended to the tutorial level, a delicate balance must be maintained: give-away moves are allowed under the important proviso that, on a balance of probabilities, they should go unnoticed. It is acknowledged that the model is possibly too detailed to be realistic and rather naively replaces the stochastic quality (does the opponent recognize a give-away move?) by a numerical value. Yet, … Show more

Quantification of Search-Extension Benefits

Authors: Beal, D.F. | Smith, M.C.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: This paper considers several search-extension rules and one pruning rule that have been described in the literature. An experiment was performed to see how effective each rule was in isolation, and in various combinations. The experiment was performed on a fixed testset of positions, and results measured using node counts. The emphasis of the work was to make repeatable measurements on well-defined tasks, for future comparison with other search-extension rules. In the test domain chosen, some extension rules were strongly advantageous compared with fixed-depth search, but disadvantageous in combination with others. Notably, singular extensions were strongly beneficial if added to … Show more
