Reviewer 2 Report

Dear authors, 

the paper is interesting. I have a few suggestions:

- What does it mean "reach the goal" in line 43?

- Line 152 what UTC stands for?

- Why in Figure 3, do you have to consider all the alternatives to move in the first layer? Since you decide how to move after you see the result of the dice, you have just one node "Diven dice points".

- Why consider the binary representation of the states in Eq 5 and 6?

- Why have the positions 0x32, etc, and not just a tuple (0, 4)? In my opinion, using the second type of expression will increase readability.

Best regards

Reviewer 3 Report

The paper is well structured and written. It presents several updates to an existing engine for playing the EinStein Würfelt Nicht board game, together with extensive testing against other algorithms. I believe its contributions are worthwhile in scope, but limited to the development and optimization of algorithms for playing board-games. In addition, I've noted a few observations for the authors:

  • Introduction must make it clear that when the die lands on a number that is no longer on the board, the player must move a stone with the closest number to the die, not any stone.
  • "validate its chess-playing abilities" -- perhaps its game-playing abilities?
  • Authors must refrain from calling the game board "chessboard". A chessboard has a very precise definition, which this game board does not fulfil. It's best to just call it the "game board".
  • Bitboard representation does not make clear that 0x45 is used as an example and therefore the operations are initially confusing
  • Line 178, please clarify why the given time complexity is O(n), as there are only 6 pieces on the board.

Use of English is fine.
