DESCRIPTION:Games have been used for over 50 years as an environment to de
 velop and test new AI techniques. As computers become better than humans a
 t an increasing number of games\, we need more challenging problems to dri
 ve the field forwards and discover better approaches for solving real-worl
 d tasks. This talk will look at the properties of games which make them di
 fficult for computers\, using Arimaa as an example. I will also explain a 
 couple of the  techniques used by SHARP\, a very strong Arimaa engine\, to
  overcome some of the problems exclusive to Arimaa.
