5.0 out of 5 stars Something Much More Interesting And Elegant, October 9, 2001
By Gil Dodgen (Trabuco Canyon, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blondie24: Playing at the Edge of AI (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Artificial Intelligence) (Paperback)
Blondie24 is a fascinating and informative book that will be absolutely engrossing for anyone with an interest in artificial intelligence and computers. Although Master-level checkers programs have been around for a while, they have all used brute force to achieve their goals. The Blondie24 project represents the first serious attempt since Samuel's experiments in the 1950s to do something much more interesting and elegant: create a checkers program that can learn on its own. This book is easily accessible for the uninitiated, and I guarantee that you'll be swept along.

This topic is full of WIN.
