%0 Journal Article %T Optimizing Selective Search in Chess %A Omid David-Tabibi %A Moshe Koppel %A Nathan S. Netanyahu %J Computer Science %D 2010 %I arXiv %X In this paper we introduce a novel method for automatically tuning the search parameters of a chess program using genetic algorithms. Our results show that a large set of parameter values can be learned automatically, such that the resulting performance is comparable with that of manually tuned parameters of top tournament-playing chess programs. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1009.0550v1
