Abstract

Strategy is one of the most important factors to win a game. Especially in zero-sum game, where a loser is necessary to make a winner, the player who has better strategy can be the winner. A fixed or solid strategy cannot be the better strategy, because game is like dancing with partner and responding the partner’s behavior is important. In order to win, the strategy should be dynamically adapted to the situation of the game according to the opponent’s action and at the same time, the strategy should provide the suitable action with performance limitation such as time and space. In this paper, we propose a method of dynamically modifying the strategy to the drift of the game. This method classifies the game situation and selects the best action in that situation by evaluating all the possible options.
