All players who aspire to chess mastery need to learn the techniques for winning a won game: that means they must better recognize the positional advantages they already have and know how to use them to get closer to victory. The examples laid out here will help them do exactly that. Each one comes from the most brilliantly played games at the Women’s and Men’s United States Championships in the past 20 years—games that have won a special $2,000 prize for excellence, donated by Paul M. Albert Jr. Players at all levels will benefit from the moves presented, described, and illustrated here, all with illuminating commentary.

This book lends insight into solving some well-known AI problems using the most efficient methods by humans and computers. The book discusses the importance of developing critical-thinking methods and skills, and develops a consistent approach toward each problem: 1) a precise description of a well-known AI problem coupled with an effective graphical representation; 2) discussion of possible approaches to solving each problem; 3) identifying and presenting the best known human solution to each problem; 4) evaluation and discussion of the Human Window aspects for the best solution; 5) a playability site where students can exercise the process of developing their solutions, as well as “experiencing” the best solution; 6) code or pseudo-code implementing the solution algorithm, and 7) academic references for each problem. Features: 
<li>Addresses AI problems well known to computer science and mathematics students from a number of perspectives</li> <li>Covers classic AI problems such as Twelve Coins, Red Donkey, Cryptarithms, Rubik’s Cube, Missionaries/Cannibals, Knight’s Tour, Monty Hall, and more</li> <li>Includes a companion CD-ROM with source code, solutions, figures, and more</li> <li>Includes playability sites where students can exercise the process of developing their solutions</li> <li>Describes problem-solving methods which may be applied to many problem situations</li>
