(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.

6-Piece Endgames

Authors: Thompson, K.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Currently I feel that it is well within modest means to solve endgames with two Kings and four pure pieces Pawn endgames are still a little out of reach. This contribution outlines an approach for achieving endgame solutions and provides the current status of solving 6-piece endgames. Some code for the construction of endgame databases is given and some pitfalls to be avoided are described.

Multiple Probes of Transposition Tables

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

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The vast majority of chess-playing programs make use of a transposition table to store positions and their associated values. Typically (and especially with very fast processors or relatively small memories) only a fraction of the values encountered can be stored. This article examines the performance of a simple multiple-probe scheme, using varying table sizes, on a number of middle-game positions. Multiple probes of the table are shown to perform significantly better than the standard single-probe implementations.
