  • Mohex 2.0: a Pattern-Based MCTS Hex Player
    MoHex 2.0: a pattern-based MCTS Hex player Shih-Chieh Huang1,2, Broderick Arneson2, Ryan B. Hayward2, Martin M¨uller2, and Jakub Pawlewicz3 1 DeepMind Technologies 2 Computing Science, University of Alberta 3 Institute of Informatics, University of Warsaw Abstract. In recent years the Monte Carlo tree search revolution has spread from computer Go to many areas, including computer Hex. MCTS Hex players now outperform traditional knowledge-based alpha-beta search players, and the reigning Computer Olympiad Hex gold medallist is the MCTS player MoHex. In this paper we show how to strengthen Mo- Hex, and observe that — as in computer Go — using learned patterns in priors and replacing a hand-crafted simulation policy with a softmax pol- icy that uses learned patterns can significantly increase playing strength. The result is MoHex 2.0, about 250 Elo stronger than MoHex on the 11×11 board, and 300 Elo stronger on 13×13. 1 Introduction In the 1940s Piet Hein [22] and independently John Nash [26–28] invented Hex, the classic two-player alternate-turn connection game. The game is easy to im- plement — in the 1950s Claude Shannon and E.F. Moore built an analogue Hex player based on electrical circuits [29] — but difficult to master, and has often been used as a testbed for artificial intelligence research. Around 2006 Monte Carlo tree search appeared in Go Go [11] and soon spread to other domains. The four newest Olympiad Hex competitors — MoHex from 2008 [4], Yopt from 2009 [3], MIMHex from 2010 [5], Panoramex from 2011 [20] — all use MCTS.

  • Rules for the 17Th World Computer-Chess
    Rules for the 17 th World Computer-Chess Championship 1 RULES FOR THE 17 th WORLD COMPUTER-CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP Pamplona, Spain May 11-18, 2009 The Board of ICGA The 17 th World Computer-Chess Championship will take place from May 11-18, 2009 in Pamplona, Spain. Here we recall that the Maastricht Triennial Meeting in 2002, i.e., the ICGA meeting, decided that the WCCC should be held annually without distinguishing any type of machines. The observation was clear: all kinds of differences between microcomputers, personal computers, “normal” computers, and supercomputers were in some sense obsolete and the classification thus was considered artificial. So was the division into the classes of single processors and multiprocessors. For 2009 we are introducing a new rule on a somewhat experimental basis. For this year’s WCCC a limit is being placed on the number of cores that a computer system may use for the tournament. The longer-term future of this rule is currently under discussion in various computer chess forums and will be debated by the contestants during this year’s World Championship, which might lead to changes for future years. Another division considered obsolete since 2002 is that between amateur and professional. Is not the real amateur a professional? Or the other way round? For organizational matters we have kept this difference, since for amateurs the cost of travelling and housing is already expensive. Being treated as a professional may be agreeable, but if you have to pay for it then it might be less agreeable. As in previous years we have maintained three groups here, viz.

They provide a structured task in which it is very easy to measure success or failure. They did not obviously require large amount of knowledge.

  • Computer Olympiad
    The 7th Computer Olympiad Mark Winands IKAT, Universiteit Maastricht From July 5 to 11 2002 the Institute for Knowledge and Agent Technology (IKAT) organised the 7th Computer Olympiad at the Universiteit Maastricht (UM). Together with the Olympiad a Computer-Games workshop was organised. This event took place from July 6 to 8. Both events are described in this report. The Computer Olympiad The Computer Olympiad is a multi-games event in which all of the participants are computer programs. The Olympiad is a brainchild of David Levy, who organised this tournament in 1989 (London) for the first time. The next five editions were held in 1990 (London), 1991 (Maastricht), 1992 (London), 2000 (London) and 2001 (Maastricht). This year was the third time that the event was held in Maastricht. IKAT was responsible for the organisation. Similar to last year, Jaap van den Herik was the tournament director. The purpose of the Olympiad is to determine the strongest program for each game. The Olympiad has grown to a social event, as the authors of the programs are not bound to silence during the play as in human tournaments. The event is a reunion where programmers meet, discuss ideas and renew acquaintances. Some teams arrive with the clear goal of winning, some just come to participate, some to test new ideas under tournament conditions. The Olympiad is a truly international event. This year, participants came from all over the world: USA, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Israel and the European Union. The event was held under the auspices of the ICCA (International Computer Chess Association), which gave it an official status.

  • Crazy Stone Wins First UEC Cup 1
    Crazy Stone wins First UEC Cup 1 Crazy Stone wins First UEC Cup Remi´ Coulom Universite´ Charles de Gaulle, Lille, France The First UEC Cup took place on December 1–2, 2007, at the University of Electro-Communications, in Tokyo, Japan. It is a new computer-Go tournament, that was set up after the cancellation of the Gifu Challenge. The Gifu Challenge had been a yearly computer-Go tournament in Japan between 2003 and 2006, but was cancelled in 2007 because of lack of support by sponsors. With 27 programs participating, the First UEC Cup was the largest computer-Go tournament in a very long time. According to Nick Wedd’s list at http://www.computer-go.info/events/, it is the third in history, after the 1997 FOST Cup (40), and the 1999 CGF Cup (28). All participants were from Japan, except two invited programs from France, MoGo and Crazy Stone, that played with local operators. The tournament was organized in two phases. On the first day, a 5-round Swiss tournament selected the top 16 programs. On the second day, a 4-round knockout tournament ranked the 16 selected programs. Tables 1 and 2 summarize the results. Games were played with a time control of 40 minutes, sudden death, with Japanese rules and 6.5 points of komi. Game records may be downloaded from http://jsb.cs.uec.ac.jp/˜igo/result.html, and http://jsb.cs.uec.ac.jp/˜igo/result2.html. This first edition of the UEC cup confirmed the strength of Monte-Carlo programs. MoGo and Crazy Stone, who were first and second in the 2007 Computer Olympiad in Amsterdam, took the third and first places.

  • Computer Shogi 2000 Through 2004
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DSpace at Waseda University 195 Computer Shogi 2000 through 2004 Takenobu Takizawa Since the first computer shogi program was developed by the author in 1974, thirty years has passed. During that time,shogi programming has attracted both researchers and commercial programmers and playing strength has improved steadily. Currently, the best programs have a level that is comparable to that of a very strong amateur player (about 5-dan). In the near future, a good program will beat a professional player. The basic structure of strong shogi programs is similar to that of chess programs. However, the differences between chess and shogi have led to the development of some shogi-specific methods. In this paper the author will give an overview of the history of computer shogi, summarize the most successful techniques and give some ideas for future directions of research in computer shogi. 1 . Introduction Shogi, or Japanese chess, is a two-player complete information game similar to chess. As in chess, the goal of the game is to capture the opponent’s king. However, there are a number of differences be- tween chess and shogi: the shogi board is slightly bigger than the chess board (9x9 instead of 8x8), there are different pieces that are relatively weak compared to the pieces in chess (no queens, but gold generals, sil- ver generals and lances) and the number of pieces in shogi is larger (40 instead of 32). But the most important difference between chess and shogi is the possibility to re-use captured pieces.

  • Computer Games Workshop 2007
    Computer Games Workshop 2007 Amsterdam, June 15{17, 2007 MAIN SPONSORS Preface We are pleased to present the proceedings of the Computer Games Workshop 2007, Amsterdam, June 15{17, 2007. This workshop will be held in conjunc- tion with the 12th Computer Olympiad and the 15th World Computer-Chess Championship. Although the announcement was quite late, we were pleased to receive no less than 24 contributions. After a \light" refereeing process 22 papers were accepted. We believe that they present a nice overview of state-of-the-art research in the ¯eld of computer games. The 22 accepted papers can be categorized into ¯ve groups, according to the type of games used. Chess and Chess-like Games In this group we have included two papers on Chess, one on Kriegspiel, and three on Shogi (Japanese Chess). Matej Guid and Ivan Bratko investigate in Factors A®ecting Diminishing Returns for Searching Deeper the phenomenon of diminishing returns for addi- tional search e®ort. Using the chess programs Crafty and Rybka on a large set of grandmaster games, they show that diminishing returns depend on (a) the value of positions, (b) the quality of the evaluation function, and (c) the phase of the game and the amount of material on the board. Matej Guid, Aritz P¶erez,and Ivan Bratko in How Trustworthy is Crafty's Analysis of Chess Champions? again used Crafty in an attempt at an objective assessment of the strength of chess grandmasters of di®erent times. They show that their analysis is trustworthy, and hardly depends on the strength of the chess program used, the search depth applied, or the size of the sets of positions used.

  • Fuego at the Computer Olympiad in Pamplona 2009: a Tournament Report∗
    Fuego at the Computer Olympiad in Pamplona 2009: a Tournament Report∗ Martin M¨uller May 28, 2009 Abstract The 14th Computer Olympiad took place in Pamplona, Spain from May 11-18, 2009. The Fuego program won the 9 × 9 Go competition, and took second place in 19 × 19 Go. This report provides some analysis of the games played by Fuego in the competition. 1 Introduction This was the second Olympiad for Fuego. In its first participation, 2008 in Beijing, Fuego ended up in fourth place in both 9 × 9 and 19 × 19. This year’s competition took place in the beautiful historic Palacio del Contestable in the center of Pamplona. Komi was 7.5 and Chinese rules were used in both tournaments. The Fuego team, software and hardware were as follows: Markus Enzenberger is the creator of Fuego and its lead programmer. Martin M¨uller is team leader, program- mer and opening book author. Broderick Arneson is a programmer. Gerry Tesauro and Richard Segal of IBM Watson Research contributed the distributed memory implemen- tation. The software used was the current svn version of Fuego, with two experimental additions: First, the distributed memory implementation allowed the program to run on a cluster of eight 8-core machines provided by IBM and operated by Rich Segal. Second, for the 19 × 19 competition, an experimental version called FuegoEx was used. This version of Fuego employs knowledge of the classical Go program Explorer for move pruning in core parts of the UCT tree. 2 9 × 9 Tournament The 9 × 9 competition was played on May 11 - 13.
