Awari has been reported to be solved as of May 2002, by Henri Bal and
John Romein at the Free University in Amsterdam, Netherlands. They
used a distributed system with 144 PCs and more than 700 Gb of RAM to
compute all databases up to 48 stones, thus enumerating all possible
positions in the game.


    With perfect play, Awari is a draw.
