Could computers ever beat the best go players? Although unthinkable at this stage, this could soon become possible, thanks to CNRS theorists. For the first time, two scientists from the Theoretical Physics Laboratory and the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and Statistical Models, have applied network theory to a game of strategy. Their findings, published in the journal Europhysics Letters, should help to improve future simulation programs.
