From the Back Cover
The book presents new results of computer-chess research in the areas of selective forward pruning, the efficient application of game-theoretical knowledge, and the behaviour of the search at increasing depths. It shows how to make sophisticated game-tree searchers more scalable at ever higher depths. Throughout the whole book, the high-speed and master-strength chess program "DarkThought" serves as a realistic test vehicle to conduct numerous experiments at unprecedented search depths. The extensive experimental evaluations provide convincing empirical evidence for the practical usefulness of the presented techniques.
Advantages: - presentation of advanced and brand-new research results
in computer chess (e.g. selective pruning and other
search enhancements, improved endgame databases, etc.)

- numerous experiments at unprecedented search depths

- extensive experimental evaluation

- practical usefulness of new techniques proven within
strong state-of-the-art chess program "DarkThought"

- includes detailed implementation skeletons in ANSI-C

- contains concise introductions into the game of chess
and the basics of computer chess in general
