Abstract

The efficacy of two evolutionary approaches to the problem of generation of heuristical linear and non-linear evaluation functions in the game of give-away checkers is tested in the paper. Experimental results show that both tested methods lead to heuristics of reasonable quality and evolutionary algorithms can be successfully applied to heuristic generation in case not enough expert knowledge is available.
