S THAT WORD AGAIN.  NO, NOT.CHOMP, HEURI
STIC.  ONCE AGAIN I TAKE.OUT MY TRUSTY 1
932 EDITION OF THE.WINSTON SIMPLIFIED DI
CTIONARY TO LOOK.UP A WORD THAT IS NEVER
 THERE.  HOW.DID THEY GET ALONG IN 1932 
WITHOUT.HEURISTICS?..    A MORE RECENT D
ICTIONARY TELLS ME.THAT HEURISTICS IS TH
E STUDY OF.LEARNING BY EMPIRICAL RULES O
F THUMB..AH, SO IT REQUIRES A THUMB IN O
RDER.TO LEARN HEURISTICS.  GREAT!  MOST 
OF.US HAVE TWO OF THEM...    CHOMP IS A 
PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS.YOU TO PLAY THE CLAS
SIC NUMBER GAME.NIM WITH YOUR COMPUTER. 
 THE COMPUTER.STARTS OUT WITH NO PLAN OR
 STRATEGY.BUT AS YOU PLAY, IT LEARNS AND
 SOON.WILL GIVE YOU A RUN FOR YOUR MONEY
..IF YOU WIN, THE NEXT GAME WILL BE A.LI
TTLE MORE DIFFICULT, WHILE IF YOU.LOSE, 
THE NEXT GAME WILL BE A LITTLE.EASIER...
.    THE FIRST TIME YOU RUN THE.PROGRAM 
YOU'LL BE ASKED FOR A NUMBER.BETWEEN FOU
R AND NINE.  THIS WILL BE.YOUR "MAXIMUM 
HEIGHT".  THEN YOU'LL.SEE A CHOCOLATE BA
R WITH A SKULL AND.CROSSBONES IN THE TOP
 LEFT CORNER..THIS IS THE PIECE YOU DON'
T WANT TO.CHOMP ON, IT'S POISON...    MO
VE THE POINTER WITH THE MOUSE.TO ANY OF 
THE SQUARES AND CHOMP IT BY.PRESSING THE
 LEFT BUTTON.  THAT PIECE.WILL DISAPPEAR
 ALONG WITH ANY THAT.ARE BELOW OR TO THE
 RIGHT OF YOUR.CHOMPED PIECE.  THEN THE 
COMPUTER.WILL TAKE A CHOMP.  THE ONE WHO
.CHOMPS THE POISON SQUARE IS THE.LOSER. 
 OBVIOUSLY...    AFTER YOU WIN A GAME TH
E BAR WILL.BE LARGER FOR THE NEXT GAME U
NTIL YOU.GET TO THE "MAXIMUM HEIGHT" YOU
 CHOSE.EARLIER.  WHEN THAT HAPPENS YOU'L
L BE.ASKED IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE OR.QU
IT.  IF YOU CONTINUE, THIS IS WHERE.THE 
HEURISTICS COME INTO EFFECT.  THE.NEXT T
IME THROUGH, THE COMPUTER WILL.REMEMBER 
THE WINNING MOVES YOU MADE.THE FIRST ROU
ND AND USE THEM AGAINST.YOU.  FIENDISHLY
 CLEVER, EH?..    THIS GAME WAS INVENTED
 BY.MATHEMATICIAN AND ECONOMIST, DAVID.G
ALE.  IT WAS WRITTEN UP IN MARTIN.GARDNE
R'S "MATHEMATICAL GAMES" COLUMN.IN SCIEN
TIFIC AMERICAN, WHERE HE.CALLED IT CHOMP
 AND PROVED THAT THE.FIRST PLAYER CAN AL
WAYS WIN..    THE PROOF DOESN'T TELL YOU
 THE.WINNING STARTEGY, THOUGH -- YOU'LL.
HAVE TO COME UP WITH THAT ON YOUR.OWN.  
YOU ALWAYS GO FIRST SO YOU.SHOULD ALWAYS
 WIN, RIGHT?..DISK FILES THIS PROGRAM US
