Develop a strong AI for Abstract Strategy Game

Job ID: 39618694

Budget: $30 – $250 CAD

AI Developer Needed to Create a Challenging Game Bot

This is a two-player, perfect information abstract strategy game played on an 8×8 grid. There is no hidden information and no randomness. The players take turns placing their pieces on the board. The rules are easy to learn, but the strategic and tactical complexity is very high. The branching factor is enormous, and the depth of play is comparable to games like chess or Go.

I’m looking for someone who can develop an AI that plays the game at a level strong enough to challenge or surpass experienced human players. I don’t have a preferred method — you can take a traditional search-based approach, train a neural network, use reinforcement learning, or explore something in the spirit of AlphaZero. The end goal is the same: a highly capable AI player.

Experience with AI in perfect information games is important. Please include examples of your work, especially if you’ve built bots or engines for games like chess, Go, shogi, or similar.

Let’s talk if you have the skills to build something strong.
