  • QUOTE: General game players are computer systems able to play strategy games based solely on formal game descriptions supplied at “runtime” (in other words, they don't know the rules until the game starts). Unlike specialized game players, such as Deep Blue, general game players cannot rely on algorithms designed in advance for specific games; they must discover such algorithms themselves. General game playing expertise depends on intelligence on the part of the game player and not just intelligence of the programmer of the game player.
