title = "Temporal difference learning for Connect6",
abstract = "In this paper, we apply temporal difference (TD) learning to Connect6, and successfully use TD(0) to improve the strength of a Connect6 program, NCTU6. The program won several computer Connect6 tournaments and also many man-machine Connect6 tournaments from 2006 to 2011. From our experiments, the best improved version of TD learning achieves about a 58% win rate against the original NCTU6 program. This paper discusses three implementation issues that improve the program. The program has a convincing performance in removing winning/losing moves via threat-space search in TD learning.",
