At UMass Amherst, Richard Cochran worked with [[Paul E. Utgoff]] on a new [[Search|search]] idea, dubbed ''Least-Certainty Heuristic for Selective Search'' ('''LCF'''), a [[Selectivity|selective]] [[Best-First|best-first]] algorithm by iterative expansion of [[Leaf Node|leaf nodes]], introduced at the [[CG 2000|2nd Computer and Games 2000 Conference]] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamamatsu,_Shizuoka Hamamatsu], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan Japan]. The algorithm is closest in spirit to [[Conspiracy Numbers|conspiracy numbers]], but discards buckets of supposed target values in favor of a real-valued approach. It was disappointing that LCF did not produce stronger play than [[Alpha-Beta]] while applied to [[Amazons]] and [[Othello]] <ref>[[Paul E. Utgoff]], [[Richard P. Cochran]] ('''2000''').
