Solving the World's Board Games with Computational Game Theory

ABSTRACT

Since 2001, the GamesCrafters research and development group at UC Berkeley has been developing a software infrastructure utilizing computational game theory to strongly solve the world's board games. We have more than 70 games and puzzles in our system, and we offer a perfect computer opponent who can teach the perfect strategy, as well as providing a post-game analysis for two players (e.g, for every poor move, what the right move should have been). The group has engaged over 300 top undergraduates who often return semester after semester to tackle more challenging problems.
