The · progr.am . evaluates positions according to production-like rules and · also generate·s moves through the mediation of rules that produce \"s trategies\" . Effects of the desig n are discussed, partly through examples . The ·design affects the application · of s tandard chess programming principles, among them use of cutoffs, the definition of a repeated position, and the c omparison of values of positions. We also describe problems and · solutions of problems concerning concepts peculiar to this type of design, especially the concept of search within the context of pursuing a particular strategy.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/97","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/0097.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/97.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/bibtex/97","volume":{"slug":"1977","title":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1977","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/","year":1977,"location":"Cambridge, MA, USA","dates":"","editors":"Raj Reddy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Problem-solving and Search","track":"Problem-solving and Search","number":97,"pages":{"first":421,"last":426},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
