Matthew Ferland will present "Winning the battle, but not the war: game sums can be difficult for computers". Free pizza and everyone welcome to attend.
One thing people do with board games is play multiple games simultaneously, such as Ultimate Tic Tac Toe and Bughouse (for Chess). In this talk, we will talk about a certain way that people combine games together, and about how it can turn "easy" games to solve computationally into ones that are difficult for computers.
