Journal ArticleDOI
Games solved: now and in the future
TL;DR: It is concluded that decision complexity is more important than state-space complexity as a determining factor in games solved in the domain of two-person zero-sum games with perfect information and there is a trade-off between knowledge-based methods and brute-force methods.
Book ChapterDOI
Dead Cell Analysis in Hex and the Shannon Game
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used combinatorial properties that might be used to solve Hex puzzles to establish properties of dead or negligible cells in Hex and the Shannon game, and showed that these properties can be used for solving Hex and Shannon games.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hex and combinatorics
TL;DR: Inspired by Claude Berge's interest in and writings on Hex, this chapter discusses some results on the game.
Book ChapterDOI
Are Bees Better than Fruitflies
TL;DR: This paper presents the key ideas behind Queenbee, the first Hex playing program to play at the level of strong human players.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solving 7×7 Hex with domination, fill-in, and virtual connections
TL;DR: An algorithm is presented that determines the outcome of an arbitrary Hex game-state by finding a winning virtual connection for thewinning player after each of the 49 possible opening moves, in each case finding an explicit proof-tree for the winning player.
