In 1999 Warwick University (UK) awarded me a Ph.D for my work in probability theory, which... ... applies dynamic stochastic control to the area of game tree searching,and proves some policies are optimal for simple search based games. ... introduces a new tree search algorithm, PCN*, which generalises the method of conspiracy probabilities used for searching game trees.
