This paper introduces an alternative algorithm for Retrograde Analysis in Awari. A parallel version of this algorithm created Awari endgame databases of up to 35 pebbles. Both sequential and parallel versions of the algorithm are compared to sequential and parallel versions of the traditional Retrograde Analysis algorithm.
