Hello,
If I remember correctly, there was a write-up about the above checkers program
in the online version of the New York Times about 2 weeks ago. However, you had
to register with them (free) to read the online version.
They mentioned in the article that although the program had reached the expert
level, master and grandmaster checkers players were still beating it
consistently.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Peter
