Description
This 2003 book provides an analysis of combinatorial games - games not involving chance or hidden information.
It contains a fascinating collection of articles by some well-known names in the field, such as Elwyn Berlekamp and John Conway, plus other researchers in mathematics and computer science, together with some top game players.
The articles run the gamut from theoretical approaches (infinite games, generalizations of game values, 2-player cellular automata, Alpha-Beta pruning under partial orders) to other games (Amazons, Chomp, Dot-and-Boxes, Go, Chess, Hex).
Many of these advances reflect the interplay of the computer science and the mathematics.
The book ends with a bibliography by A. Fraenkel and a list of combinatorial game theory problems by R.
K. Guy. Like its predecessor, Games of No Chance, this should be on the shelf of all serious combinatorial games enthusiasts.
