Revised: 2019-02-27. Accepted: 2019-03-15. Abstract Computational modeling has enabled researchers to simulate tasks which are very often impossible in practice, such as deciphering the working of the human mind, and chess is used by many cognitive scientists as an investigative tool in studies on intelligence, behavioral patterns and cognitive development and rehabilitation. Computer analysis of databases with millions of chess games allows players’ cognitive development to be predicted and their behavioral patterns to be investigated. However, computers are not yet able to solve chess problems in which human intelligence analyzes and evaluates abstractly without the need for many concrete calculations. The aim of this article is to describe and simulate a chess problem situation proposed by the British mathematician Sir Roger Penrose and thus provide an opportunity for a comparative discussion by society of human and articial intelligence. To this end, a specialist chess computer program, Fritz 12, was used to simulate possible moves for the proposed problem. The program calculated the variations and reached a dierent result from that an amateur chess player would reach after analyzing the problem for only a short time.

  • An Historical Perspective Through the Game of Chess
    On the Impact of Information Technologies on Society: an Historical Perspective through the Game of Chess Fr´ed´eric Prost LIG, Universit´ede Grenoble B. P. 53, F-38041 Grenoble, France [email protected] Abstract The game of chess as always been viewed as an iconic representation of intellectual prowess. Since the very beginning of computer science, the challenge of being able to program a computer capable of playing chess and beating humans has been alive and used both as a mark to measure hardware/software progresses and as an ongoing programming challenge leading to numerous discoveries. In the early days of computer science it was a topic for specialists. But as computers were democratized, and the strength of chess engines began to increase, chess players started to appropriate to themselves these new tools. We show how these interac- tions between the world of chess and information technologies have been herald of broader social impacts of information technologies. The game of chess, and more broadly the world of chess (chess players, literature, computer softwares and websites dedicated to chess, etc.), turns out to be a surprisingly and particularly sharp indicator of the changes induced in our everyday life by the information technologies. Moreover, in the same way that chess is a modelization of war that captures the raw features of strategic thinking, chess world can be seen as small society making the study of the information technologies impact easier to analyze and to arXiv:1203.3434v1 [cs.OH] 15 Mar 2012 grasp. Chess and computer science Alan Turing was born when the Turk automaton was finishing its more than a century long career of illusion1.

  • Jindřich Fritz MT 100 Preliminary Award
    Fritz 100 MT page 1 Jindřich Fritz MT 100 Preliminary award The international anonymous composition tourney C 15. 06. 2012 to the centenary of Jindřich Fritz, one of the most successful Czechoslovakian composers, was organized by Šachový svaz ČR (Chess Federation of the Czech Republic), Sdružení šachových problémistů (Association of Czech Problemists) and by the well-known magazine Československý šach. 63 studies from 37 authors from 18 countries took part here. There were only minimal cooks and predecessors so finally I judged 51 original endgame studies. Special thanks to Emil Vlasak, who has assumed the duties of the Tournament Director. He checked first the soundness and originality using his computer and sent me naked diagrams to an independent solution. Only then I compared my solution with the author’s one and used a computer to test it again. The level of tournament was high. Several studies don’t fit in the award although in another competition they should be probably mentioned. That is why we thank to all participants giving all names ordered alphabetically: Afek Yochanan (ISR/NED), Akobia Iuri (GEO), Arestov Pavel(RUS), Avni Amatzia (ISR), Bazlov Yuri (RUS), Becker Richard (USA), Bertoli Franco (ITA), Campioli Marco (ITA), Didukh Sergey (UKR), Eilazyan Eduard (UKR), García Mario Guido (ARG), González Luis Miguel (ESP), Hlinka Michal (SVK), Josten Gerhard (DEU), Kalashnikov Valery (RUS), Keith Daniel (FRA), Kirillov Valery (RUS), Kollarik Gorazd (SVK), Kudelich Eduard (RUS), Mariz Garbriel (PRT), Melnichenko Emil (NZL), Mikitovics János (HUN), Minski Martin (DEU), Neghina Mihai (ROU), Nielsen Steffen Slumstrup (DNK), Nosek Stanislav (CZE), Pallier Alain (FRA), Pospíšil Jaroslav (CZE), Rusz Árpád (ROU), Salai jr.

  • The First FIDE Man-Machine World Chess Championship
    The First FIDE Man-Machine World Chess Championship Jonathan Schaeffer Department of Computing Science University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta Canada T6G 2E8 [email protected] In 1989, 1996 and 1997, world chess champion Garry Kasparov battled with the strongest computer chess program in the world – Deep Blue and its predecessor Deep Thought. In 1989, man easily defeated machine. In 1996, Kasparov also won, but this time with difficulty, including losing a game to the computer. In 1997, Deep Blue stunned the world by narrowly winning the match. Was Deep Blue the best chess player in the world? Or was the result a fluke? We had no answer, as IBM immediately retired Deep Blue after the match. A frustrated Kasparov wanted another chance to play the computer, but it never happened. I am a professor in computer science, and specifically do research in the area of artificial intelligence – making computers appear to do intelligent things. Most of my research has used games to demonstrate my ideas. In the 1980’s it was with my chess program Phoenix. In the early 1990’s it was with the checkers program Chinook. These days it is with our poker program, Poki. As a scientist, I was dissatisfied with the 1997 result. There was one short chess match which suggested that machine was better than man at chess. But science is all about producing reproducible results. More data was needed before one could objectively decide whether computer chess programs really were as good as (or better) than the best human chess player in the world.
