  Very, very cool. I'd love to get into this field (I'm tryin!).

  The book Blondie24 is an interesting popular science style account of this type of AI. http://www.amazon.com/Blondie24-Playing-Kaufmann-Artificial-Intelligence/dp/1558607838/ http://www.amazon.com/Blondie24-Playing-Kaufmann-Artificial-... They partially trained their checkers algorithm by playing it online against humans. The funny part was that they couldn't get many opponents until they changed their handle to Blondie24, then game requests came flooding in...
