Board games research has a long and proud history at the University of Alberta,
with pioneers such as
Tony Marsland and
Jonathan Schaeffer
working on chess in the 1980's.
With their co-workers and students,
Jonathan Schaeffer
and
Michael Buro
have made seminal contributions to other board games,
solving checkers and reaching super-human strength in Othello.
Currently,
Ryan Hayward's
and Martin Müller's research groups
are working on board games.
Beyond board games, much games-related research at the University of Alberta
investigates card games such as
poker and
Skat,
other games with incomplete information, and video games.
