## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    You don't expect a 600 page book by a computer scientist to read this well.
  

*by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022*

This rules! Maybe it's that Schaeffer is part of a story so incredible – John Henry dies and the creator of the steam engine is devastated and haunted by John Henry's ghost! – that he can't do anything except write a great book. But this is fantastic, a story that's better than Deep Blue (and I say that preferring chess!) and this one clearly has a deeply compelling man on the other side of the table from the checkers GOAT. Absolutely buy this, you won't be sorry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    One of my top 20 favorite books
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2013*

This book is hard to categorize, it covers so much: programming a computer to win at checkers, certainly, but also the history of a dying competitive game, the story of an undisputed human champion, the nature of what makes a game and an opponent exciting, and many other threads. A fantastic book (at least for me).Already read the book? You can also play his program, Chinook (good luck!).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Unique work about Chinook project by Jonathan Schaeffer
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2013*

Reading of this book is nice pleasure about the story of the best checkers programme written by Jonathan Schaeffer, the leader of the Artificial Intelligence specialists from Canada. It is interesting for each person who likes checkers.
