The advent of computer makes this human beings' profound desire possible. Due to their well defined rules and charming features, many games, especially chess, have been intensively studied and coded into computer programs. This study intends to map the human being's decision making process  in playing games onto machine's representation. First, an effective machine representation of the chess environment is defined which serves as the basis for all subsequent game analyses and calculations. Second, the pre analysis similar to a human player is designed to facilitate game calculation. Last, a human-like transformational evaluator and a selective tree  searching procedure are formulated to select an optimized move. A computer program for playing Tahi Chess has been developed along  with the human player's approach. It makes the moves very closely as a human player does. 10aGame theory10aDecision-making0 aKrisorn Jittorntrum, eChairperson1 aGupta, Gopal K., eExamination Committee1 aKaew Nualchawee, eExamination Committee2 aRetired Servicemen Engineering Agency, Republic of China, eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
