1 Game Playing Dr. Richard J. Povinelli rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 Page 1

2 Objectives You should be able to provide a definition of a game. be able to evaluate, compare, and implement the minmax and alpha-beta algorithms, including for games of chance. be able to describe the current state-ofthe-art game playing programs. rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 Page 2

3 Games vs. search problems Unpredictable opponent => solution is a strategy specifying a move for every possible opponent reply Time limits => unlikely to find goal, must approximate Plan of attack: Computer considers possible lines of play (Babbage, 1846) Algorithm for perfect play (Zermelo, 1912; Von Neumann, 1944) Finite horizon, approximate evaluation (Zuse, 1945; Wiener, 1948; Shannon, 1950) First chess program (Turing, 1951) Machine learning to improve evaluation accuracy (Samuel, ) Pruning to allow deeper search (McCarthy, 1956) rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 3

4 Types of games perfect information deterministic chess, checkers, go, othello chance backgammon, monopoly imperfect information bridge, poker, scrabble, nuclear war rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 4

5 Game tree (2-player, deterministic, turns) rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 5

6 Minimax Perfect play for deterministic, perfect-information games Idea: choose move to position with highest minimax value = best achievable payoff against best play 2-ply game: rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 6

7 Minimax algorithm function Minimax-Decision(state, game) returns an action action, state the a, s in Successors(state) such that Minimax-Value(s, game) is maximized return action function Minimax-Value(state,game) returns a utility value if Terminal-Test (state) then return Utility(state) else if max is to move in state then return the highest Minimax-Value of Successors(state) else return the lowest Minimax-Value of Successors(state) rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 7

8 Properties of minimax Complete?? Optimal?? Time complexity?? Space complexity?? rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 8

9 Properties of minimax Complete?? Yes, if tree is finite (chess has specific rules for this) Optimal?? Yes, against an optimal opponent. Otherwise?? Time complexity?? O (b m ) Space complexity?? O (bm) (depth-first exploration) For chess, b 35, m 100 for reasonable games exact solution completely infeasible rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 9

10 Resource limits Suppose we have 100 seconds, explore 10 4 nodes/second 10 6 nodes per move Standard approach: cutoff test e.g., depth limit (perhaps add quiescence search) evaluation function = estimated desirability of position rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 10

11 Evaluation functions For chess, typically linear weighted sum of features Eval(s) = w 1 1 f (s) + w 2 2 f (s) + + w n n f (s) e.g., w 1 = 9 with f 1 (s) = (number of white queens) - (number of black queens) rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 11

12 Digression: Exact values don't matter Behavior is preserved under any monotonic transformation of Eval Only the order matters: payoff in deterministic games acts as an ordinal utility function rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 12

13 Cutting off search MinimaxCutoff is identical to MinimaxValue except 1. Terminal? is replaced by Cutoff? 2. Utility is replaced by Eval Does it work in practice? b m = 10 6 ; b = 35 => m = 4 4-ply lookahead is a hopeless chess player! 4-ply human novice 8-ply typical PC, human master 12-ply Deep Blue, Kasparov rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 13

14 The α-β algorithm Basically Minimax + keep track of α, β + prune α, the best score for max along the path to state β, the best score for min along the path to state function Alpha-Beta-Search(state, game) returns an action Max-Value(state,game, -, + ) return action associated with the max-value branch function Max-Value(state,game, α, β ) returns the minimax value of state if Cutoff-Test(state) then return Eval(state) for each s in Successors(state) do α Max(α,Min-Value(s,game, α, β )) if α β then return β return α function Min-Value(state, game, α, β) returns the minimax value of state if Cutoff-Test(state) then return Eval(state) for each s in Successors(state) do β Min(β, Max-Value(s,game, α, β)) if β α then return α return β rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 14

15 Game playing examples Work through example on board First, with minimax, work with a partner for 5 minutes. Second, with α-β algorithm, we ll work through it as a class rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 Page 15

16 Minimax algorithm function Minimax-Decision(game) returns an operator for each op in Operators[game] do Value[op] Minimax-Value(Apply(op,game),game) end return the op with the highest Value[op] function Minimax-Value(state,game) returns a utility value if Terminal-Test [game](state) then return Utility[game](state) else if max is to move in state then return the highest Minimax-Value of Successors(state) else return the lowest Minimax-Value of Successors(state) rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 16

17 The α-β algorithm function Alpha-Beta-Search(state, game) returns an action Max-Value(s, game, -, + ) return action associated with the max-value branch function Max-Value(state,game, α, β ) returns the minimax value of state if Cutoff-Test(state) then return Eval(state) for each s in Successors(state) do α Max(α,Min-Value(s,game, α, β )) if α β then return β return α function Min-Value(state, game, α, β) returns the minimax value of state if Cutoff-Test(state) then return Eval(state) for each s in Successors(state) do β Min(β, Max-Value(s,game, α, β)) if β α then return α return β rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 17

18 Properties of α-β Pruning does not affect final result Good move ordering improves effectiveness of pruning With perfect ordering, time complexity = O(b m/2 ) => doubles depth of search => can easily reach depth 8 and play good chess A simple example of the value of reasoning about which computations are relevant (a form of metareasoning) rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 18

19 Why is it called α-β? α is the best value (to max) found so far off the current path If V is worse than α, max will avoid it => prune that branch Define β similarly for min rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 19

20 Deterministic games in practice Checkers: Chinook ended 40-year-reign of human world champion Marion Tinsley in Used an endgame database defining perfect play for all positions involving 8 or fewer pieces on the board, a total of 443,748,401,247 positions. Chess: Deep Blue defeated human world champion Gary Kasparov in a six-game match in Deep Blue searches 200 million positions per second, uses very sophisticated evaluation, and undisclosed methods for extending some lines of search up to 40 ply. Othello: human champions refuse to compete against computers, who are too good. Go: human champions refuse to compete against computers, who are too bad. In go, b 300, so most programs use pattern knowledge bases to suggest plausible moves. rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 20

21 Nondeterministic games: backgammon rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 21

22 Nondeterministic games in general e.g, in backgammon, the dice rolls determine the legal moves Simplified example with coin-flipping instead of dice-rolling: rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 22

23 Algorithm for nondeterministic games Expectiminimax gives perfect play Just like Minimax, except we must also handle chance nodes: if state is a Max node then return the highest ExpectiMinimax-Value of Successors(state) if state is a Min node then return the lowest ExpectiMinimax-Value of Successors(state) if state is a chance node then return average of ExpectiMinimax-Value of Successors( state) rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 23

38 Nondeterministic games in practice Dice rolls increase b: 21 possible rolls with 2 dice Backgammon 20 legal moves (can be 6,000 with 1-1 roll) depth 4 = 20 x (21 x 20) x 10 9 As depth increases, probability of reaching a given node shrinks value of lookahead is diminished α-β pruning is much less effective TDGammon uses depth-2 search + very good eval world-champion level rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 38

39 Digression: Exact values DO matter Behaviour is preserved only by positive linear transformation of Eval Hence Eval should be proportional to the expected payoff rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 39

40 Games of imperfect information e.g., card games, where opponent's initial cards are unknown Typically we can calculate a probability for each possible deal Seems just like having one big dice roll at the beginning of the game* Idea: compute the minimax value of each action in each deal, then choose the action with highest expected value over all deals* Special case: if an action is optimal for all deals, it's optimal.* GIB, current best bridge program, approximates this idea by generating 100 deals consistent with bidding information picking the action that wins most tricks on average rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 40

44 Proper analysis Intuition that the value of an action is the average of its values in all actual states is WRONG With partial observability, value of an action depends on the information state or belief state the agent is in Can generate and search a tree of information states Leads to rational behaviors such as Acting to obtain information Signalling to one's partner Acting randomly to minimize information disclosure rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 44

45 Summary Games are fun to work on! (and dangerous) They illustrate several important points about AI perfection is unattainable => must approximate good idea to think about what to think about uncertainty constrains the assignment of values to states Games are to AI as grand prix racing is to automobile design rev 1.1, 9/14/2003 AIMA Slides Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, 2003 Page 45
