摘要: We present an algorithm which determines the outcome of arbitrary Hex game-state by finding a winning virtual connection for player. Our performs recursive descent search game-tree, combining fixed and dynamic composition rules with some new reduction results based on move domination. The is powerful enough to solve 7×7 game-states; in particular, we use it determine game after each 49 possible opening moves, case explicit proof-tree
