I'm developing (in Turbo C) an OTHELLO (TM) program. Current version at level 4 (abt 30 mins per player, on a Compaq 386s) has the following features: - looks forward 4 moves; - calculates the last 10 moves. I'm using a simple alfa-beta algorithm with a complex evaluating function (similar to IAGO). It wins regularly OthelloKiller (Commodore Amiga) and Windows/othello (ibm) at similar levels. I would appreciate ANY help from you in order to increase its strenght. In particular I'm interested in alfa-beta algorithms (killer cut, time limited moves, ... ), special evaluating functions (about X squares, borders, ... ), literature, books (titles), other PD or SHAREWARE Othello programs, and tournament dates and sites (possibly in Europe).
