Journal Reading

Today, we started reading a 77 page thesis written by Christ-Jan Cox under Prof. Dr. H.J. van den Herik, Dr. ir. J.W.H.M. Uiterwijk, Dr. ir. P.H.M. Spronck, Dr. ir. H.H.L.M. Donkers of the University Maastricht.

Also, over the weekend, Perry played 4 successive wins against Bomb2005P1, proving that a very inexperienced player can actually easily beat a not so strong bot.

For my money, the thesis by Haizhi Zhong http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~jonathan/Grad/Papers/zhong.msc.pdf is more accurate and more useful to a bot developer than CJ's thesis. The only major gap in Haizhi's thesis was his inability to do quiescence search, which Fotland solved.
