A New AI Open Problem: WUGU Chess

Abstract

Game is an early research topic in the field of AI, and it is also a very active and representative research direction. In this paper, we introduce a traditional chess game, WUGU chess, which is popular in Weifang area of Shandong Province, P.R. China. There are obvious differences of WUGU chess compared with other chess games. The special rules often lead to a reversal of the situation. So we introduce WUGU chess as a new artificial intelligence (AI) open problem.
