I’m not what you would call a good checkers player or even someone who actually cares about the game. Yet I still find it interesting that a team of computer science researchers at the University of Alberta have written a program, known as Chinook, that can play a perfect game of checkers. The researchers told Reuters that this is the most complicated game to be solved thus far. Besides chess, I wonder what other games are still unsolved. The Tic-Tac-Toe game that ships with KDE is pretty damn hard to me, so that one must’ve been solved already 😉
