• Technical report TR09-08. Fuego is an open-source software framework for developing game engines for full-information two-player board games, with a focus on the game of Go. It was mainly developed by the Computer Go group of the University of Alberta. Fuego includes a Go engine with a playing strength that is competitive with the top programs in 9 x 9 Go, and respectable in 19 x 19 Go. This report describes the reusable components of the software framework and specific algorithms used in the Go engine. The description includes a new enhancement for Monte-Carlo tree search: a lock-free multithreaded mode. | TRID-ID TR09-08
