Due to the complexity of this game, it seems however that using complex systems such as neural networks or genetic algorithms may help improve (or at least compete with) the performance of said programs. This seminar aims to present several projects and papers making use of these “alterna- tive” methods to design chess programs, details about their implementations and their actual performance compared to “classic” chess algorithms or human players.", url = "http://olivier.mehani.name/publications/2006mehani_chess.pdf", }
