What changed
Integrated an abstracted blueprint strategy, real-time nested safe subgame solving and targeted blueprint repair to defeat specialist professionals in heads-up no-limit Texas hold'em.
Scientific scope
Integrated an abstracted blueprint strategy, real-time nested safe subgame solving and targeted blueprint repair to defeat specialist professionals in heads-up no-limit Texas hold'em. Competition and online Science publication occurred2017; print issue2018 is recorded separately. Blueprint abstraction, approximate opponent values and finite solving accuracy constrain guarantees; a120000hand match is not proof of an exact full-game equilibrium. Self-improvement patches the system's own weaknesses, not simply fitting an opponent-exploitation model. DeepStack concurrent related work is credited without assigning exclusive priority.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
