High Temperature Domineering Positions

Domineering is a partizan game where two players have a collection of dominoes which they place on the grid in turn, covering up squares. One player places tiles vertically, while the other places them horizontally; the first player who cannot move loses. It has been conjectured that the highest temperature possible in Domineering is 2. We have developed a program that enables a parallel exhaustive search of Domineering positions with temperatures close to or equal to 2 to allow for analysis of such positions
