Utilisation de la recherche arborescente Monte-Carlo au Hex

Nous presentons YOPT, un programme qui joue au Hex en utilisant des techniques de Monte-Carlo. Nous decrivons des heuristiques pour ameliorer les simulations et les descentes d'arbre Monte-Carlo. Nous abordons aussi l'utilisation d'heuristiques pour ameliorer la parallelisation du programme. Le niveau de YOPT atteint le niveau de SIX pour les temps utilises en competition.
