Artificial Intelligence / Computational Intelligence

The most exciting thing about jOX is that it doesn't search any game tree. It is one depth search only (one ply). For all possible moves heuristic weights are computed. Computer chooses the move with the highest weight. That's all. So simple, so beautiful.
