  • Abstract
    We detail a study into whether the ´piece difference´ heuristic could be evolved for the game of checkers. A co-evolutionary algorithm is used to evolve a piece-weighting system that is used as the evaluation function in a minimax checkers player. The results suggest that the ´piece difference´ heuristic will evolve if allowed, but it is not necessarily easy. The work has also demonstrated that other common heuristics can also be evolved.
