DEDUCE: A Two-Player game based on the Eight Queens problem. Old Puzzle, New Game; Can you “Deduce” the best move ? In this age of “fast, fast, fast”, a new game has been created that is “faster than Tic-Tac-Toe, but as complicated as chess.” Deduce, based on the centuries old puzzle of placing 8 queens simultaneously on a chessboard without any attacking each other, has a maximum of 8 moves, one move less than the children’s game of Tic-Tac-Toe. However, developers say that the game is so complex that even a chess grandmaster cannot calculate the proper opening moves with any confidence. The simplicity of the rules and equipment can entertain children from ages 4 to 104. Designed as a step along a path to further theory and practice of artificial intelligence research; a game of deduce takes little time to complete. Yet in the simplicity of the game, the complexity becomes soon obvious as the computer’s seemingly random moves lead to defeat of human foes consistently in seconds from either side of the board.

RULES: Two players compete by placing pieces on squares not in the same row, column, or diagonal of another piece (ie., not being controlled by another queen of either side.) Last player to fill the board, taking the last available square, wins the game.

1. Deduce is a two player game played upon an 8x8 “chessboard.”
2. Legal moves can be placed on any square with row, column, and diagonals, completely empty.
3. Moves alternate between the first (odd) player and second (even) player.
4. The winner is the last player that makes a legal move.
