AI techniques used in Hex
Programs with AI
There are several computer programs available which play Hex.
- The currently strongest Hex program is Six by Gábor Melis, running on Linux or Unix or Windows.
- The second strongest program available is Hexy by Vadim Anshelevich, running on Microsoft Windows. This site also has an interesting paper on aspects of the algorithm used.
- Queenbee by Jack van Rijswijck.
- Mongoose by Yngvi Björnsson, Ryan Hayward, Mike Johanson, Morgan Kan, and Nathan Po.
The International Computer Games Association also has some information on Hex. They organize an annual Computer Olympiad, which also covers Hex. For example, Six won the gold medal of the 8th Computer Olympiad in Graz, while Hexy won the gold medal of the 5th Computer Olympiad in London, which appears to be the first computer Hex tournament ever held.

Reviewing and Editing Programs
- JHex by Kevin lets you analyse a game, and databases of games.
- KHex by David King is a tool for reviewing games. Very well suited for sharing commented games (it exports games in Smart Game Format!)
