hmm, looks as if it applies to more than checkers, i found this in another article:
'Schaeffer co-founded a company to use the same approach to hunt for meaningful patterns in long strings of DNA and other biological building blocks. The company's bestseller, however, has turned out to be a computer poker game. Schaeffer's latest poker program, Polaris, will compete in the First Man-Machine Poker Championship, to be held next week in Vancouver.' |
