Lajkonik_5_bot

A Havannah bot programmed by Marcin Ciura and Piotr Wieczorek from Kraków.<br><br> Using MCTS with transposition table and RAVE; written in C++. Currently runs single-threaded on a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, achieving 28000 light playouts per second on an empty board. An earlier version placed third out of five programs in the Havannah tournament at the 2010 Computer Olympiad in Kanazawa.<br><br> This instance only plays on size 5 board. It thinks over each move for five minutes. No more than one process runs at a time: games in progress with Lajkonik's turn to move are queued. <center> Results as of 2012-05-04 <table bgcolor="99FF99"border="1" frame="box" rules="rows"> <tr><td><b>Opponent</b></td><td><b>Balance</b></td></tr> <tr><td>Ring von Fehler bot</td><td align="center">203:7</td></tr> <tr><td>wanderer_c</td><td align="center">65:60</td></tr> <tr><td>Castro_bot</td><td align="center">15:28</td></tr> <tr><td>pedropajarito</td><td align="center">7:1</td></tr> <tr><td>Naked Face</td><td align="center">7:0</td></tr> <tr><td>Deep Fork</td><td align="center">5:1</td></tr> <tr><td>Peter Koning</td><td align="center">5:1</td></tr> <tr><td>Gerald</td><td align="center">4:0</td></tr> <tr><td>MarleysGhost</td><td align="center">4:0</td></tr> <tr><td>leonid</td><td align="center">3:0</td></tr> <tr><td>ypercube</td><td align="center">1:1</td></tr> <tr><td>zaszczyk</td><td align="center">1:1</td></tr> <tr><td>christian freeling</td><td align="center">0:1</td></tr> <tr><td>Marcin Ciura</td><td align="center">1:0</td></tr> <tr><td>Marius Halsor</td><td align="center">0:1</td></tr> <tr><td>mirror_man2</td><td align="center">1:0</td></tr> <tr><td>Omar Syed</td><td align="center">1:0</td></tr> <tr><td>shortysusu</td><td align="center">1:0</td></tr> <tr><td>smokyboy</td><td align="center">0:1</td></tr> <tr><td>VinceS</td><td align="center">1:0</td></tr> </table></center>
