Playing Checkers with Machines--from Ajeeb to Chinook.
Chess-playing automata that also played checkers were built in Europe from the late eighteenth century. One of these, named Ajeeb, came to the United States, spending much of the time from 1885 into the 1930s in New York and taking occasional tours around the country. The advent of electronic comput...

One of these, named Ajeeb, came to the United States, spending much of the time from 1885 into the 1930s in New York and taking occasional tours around the country.

By the late twentieth century, a Canadian-written computer program, Chinook, had defeated world champion and mathematician Marion Tinsley. More recently, developers of Chinook announced that checkers could be played to a draw against any opening. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Essay src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Information & Culture is the property of University of Texas Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
