  • Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25
    Title: Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25 Introduction The UCS contains symbols for the game of chess in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. These are used in figurine notation, a common variation on algebraic notation in which pieces are represented in running text using the same symbols as are found in diagrams. While the symbols already encoded in Unicode are sufficient for use in the orthodox game, they are insufficient for many chess problems and variant games, which make use of extended sets. 1. Fairy chess problems The presentation of chess positions as puzzles to be solved predates the existence of the modern game, dating back to the mansūbāt composed for shatranj, the Muslim predecessor of chess. In modern chess problems, a position is provided along with a stipulation such as “white to move and mate in two”, and the solver is tasked with finding a move (called a “key”) that satisfies the stipulation regardless of a hypothetical opposing player’s moves in response. These solutions are given in the same notation as lines of play in over-the-board games: typically algebraic notation, using abbreviations for the names of pieces, or figurine algebraic notation. Problem composers have not limited themselves to the materials of the conventional game, but have experimented with different board sizes and geometries, altered rules, goals other than checkmate, and different pieces. Problems that diverge from the standard game comprise a genre called “fairy chess”. Thomas Rayner Dawson, known as the “father of fairy chess”, pop- ularized the genre in the early 20th century.

    Pavlos Moutecidis 75 Jubilee Tourney 2005-06 Harry Fougiaxis 40 Jubilee Tourney 2006 Kostas Prentos 40 Jubilee Tourney 2006 Pavlos Moutecidis I was born on November 11th 1930 in Drama, a small city in the northern part of Greece, and I have been living in Thessaloniki for the last 50 years. I graduated as civil engineer from the National Technical University of Thessaloniki but I am retired nowadays. I am married and have three daughters and two grandchildren. My second hobby is trekking and I used to enjoy mountain walks a lot when I was younger. I learned the moves of chess at the age of 10 or so, and I came across chess problems at around 19 in the newspaper columns of Spyros Bikos. When I moved to Thessaloniki, I joined a chess club and used to play many games, but my interest in chess composition never faded. The tireless Triantafyllos Siaperas helped me a great deal in my early steps and I started composing in 1953 mainly orthodox direct-mates. Pretty soon I was fascinated by selfmates; for a long time my output was almost exclusively s#2s, but as soon as I had studied the works of Ilja Mikan and Jan Rusek, I switched to more-movers. Even though I did not speak and write any foreign language, I kept corresponding with Albert Kniest for years and had the opportunity to learn maximummers pretty well, still one my favourite genres. In the early seventies I was initiated into the helpmate world, mainly under the influence and guidance of Demetrio Gussopulo.

  • Dutchman Who Did Not Drink Beer. He Also Surprised My Wife Nina by Showing up with Flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital Just Before She Gave Birth to My Son Mitchell
    168 The Bobby Fischer I Knew and Other Stories Dutchman who did not drink beer. He also surprised my wife Nina by showing up with flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital just before she gave birth to my son Mitchell. I hadn't said peep, but he had his quiet ways of finding out. Max was quiet in another way. He never discussed his heroism during the Nazi occupation. Yet not only did he write letters to Alekhine asking the latter to intercede on behalf of the Dutch martyrs, Dr. Gerard Oskam and Salo Landau, he also put his life or at least his liberty on the line for several others. I learned of one instance from Max's friend, Hans Kmoch, the famous in-house annotator at AI Horowitz's Chess Review. Hans was living at the time on Central Park West somewhere in the Eighties. His wife Trudy, a Jew, had constant nightmares about her interrogations and beatings in Holland by the Nazis. Hans had little money, and Trudy spent much of the day in bed screaming. Enter Nina. My wife was working in the New York City welfare system and managed to get them part-time assistance. Hans then confided in me about how Dr. E greased palms and used his in­ fluence to save Trudy's life by keeping her out of a concentration camp. But mind you, I heard this from Hans, not from Dr. E, who was always Max the mum about his good deeds. Mr. President In 1970, Max Euwe was elected president of FIDE, a position he held until 1978.

  • Evaluating Chess-Like Games Using Generated Natural Language Descriptions
    Evaluating Chess-like Games Using Generated Natural Language Descriptions Jakub Kowalski?, Łukasz Żarczyński, and Andrzej Kisielewicz?? 1 Institute of Computer Science, University of Wrocław, [email protected] 2 Institute of Computer Science, University of Wrocław, [email protected] 3 Institute of Mathematics, University of Wrocław, [email protected] Abstract. We continue our study of the chess-like games defined as the class of Simplified Boardgames. We present an algorithm generating natural language descriptions of piece movements that can be used as a tool not only for explaining them to the human player, but also for the task of procedural game generation using an evolutionary approach. We test our algorithm on some existing human-made and procedurally generated chess-like games. 1 Introduction The task of Procedural Content Generation (PCG) [1] is to create digital content using algorithmic methods. In particular, the domain of games is the area, where PCG is used for creating various elements including names, maps, textures, music, enemies, or even missions. The most sophisticated and complex goal is to create the complete rules of a game [2–4]. Designing a game generation algorithm requires restricting the set of possible games to some well defined domain. This places the task into the area of General Game Playing, i.e. the art of designing programs which can play any game from some fixed class of games. The use of PCG in General Game Playing begins with the Pell’s Metagame system [5], describing the so-called Symmetric Chess-like Games. The evaluation of the quality of generated games was left entirely for the human expert.

In chess problems and endgame studies , the letter S , standing for Springer , the German name for the piece, is often used and in some variants of fairy chess , N is used for the nightrider , a popular fairy chess piece. It is narrated by actor Alessandro Nivola and runs 2 hrs 15 min. On Living. Similarly, if the knight were on a black square and it were Black's turn to move, White cannot win. He also makes a living doing it full-time. And then, invariably, you start asking yourself, well, what do we really believe in? A knight does not stop at each victory; he pushes on to risk a more significant failure. Knights Codes of Chivalry Each section of this Middle Ages website addresses all topics and provides interesting facts and information about these great people and events in bygone Medieval times including Knights Code of Chivalry.
