A while back I posted the following message: >[Posted for a colleague...] > >What books would give a good overview of the current state of computer Chess- >and Bridge- playing programs? Thanks to those who responded: David Dowe (dld@stan.xx.swin.oz.au) 'Ted' (ted%edu.nmsu@edu.nmsu.opus) References given which would appear to provide an introduction to the area were: Scientific American, which 'recently had a nice survey of chess playing'. Turbo Pascal Game Works 1985 Borland International Inc. ISBN 0-87524-146-8 The Mathematical Theory of Bridge Emile Borel and Andre Cheron tr. ed. Alec Traub The above information was in turn extracted in part from a posting by Bart Massey who made a request for bibliography and information on AI & probabilistics in Bridge play a while back. My attention was also drawn to the fact that there is a newsgroup for chess, namely: rec.games.chess Incidentally, I was asked if there was any particular reason for including my signature twice. It was accidental. Sorry! (I hope it will appear, but only once, below...)
