    USING CHESS AS A TOOL FOR PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Sociology _______________ by Haroutun Bursalyan Summer 2016 iii Copyright © 2016 by Haroutun Bursalyan All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION To my wife, Micki. v We learn by chess the habit of not being discouraged by present bad appearances in the state of our affairs, the habit of hoping for a favorable change, and that of persevering in the search of resources. The game is so full of events, there is such a variety of turns in it, the fortune of it is so subject to sudden vicissitudes, and one so frequently, after long contemplation, discovers the means of extricating one's self from a supposed insurmountable difficulty.... - Benjamin Franklin The Morals of Chess (1799) vi ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Using Chess as a Tool for Progressive Education by Haroutun Bursalyan Master of Arts in Sociology San Diego State University, 2016 This thesis will look at the flaws in the current public education model, and use John Dewey’s progressive education reform theories and the theory of gamification as the framework to explain how and why chess can be a preferable alternative to teach these subjects. Using chess as a tool to teach the overt curriculum can help improve certain cognitive skills, as well as having the potential to propel philosophical ideas and stimulate alternative ways of thought. The goal is to help, however minimally, transform children’s experiences within the schooling institution from one of boredom and detachment to one of curiosity and excitement.

  • Mixing Time of a Rook's Walk
    Mixing Time of a Rook's Walk Steven S. Kim April 2012 Advisor: Michael Damron Independent work for undergraduate certificate, Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics Contents 0 Introduction 1 1 Review of Mixing Times 1 2 The Rook's Walk 3 3 Computations 7 4 Applications 9 5 Future Directions 10 0 Introduction Markov chains, or Markov processes with finite (or countable) state space and discrete time scale, have long been studied for their many applications in engineering and the sciences. Ergodic chains in particular are known to eventually reach stationary distribution, but a natural question arises of how quickly a Markov chain gets \close" to its invariant distribu- tion. In this work, I will first briefly review the theory of mixing times, and then apply one particular technique of bounding mixing time to a Markov chain called the \rook's walk". Consider the movement of a chess piece on an otherwise empty board, and at each time, let it move randomly to any of its valid positions. I consider the rook in particular for three reasons. i. There is a potentially interesting application to a specific MCMC sampling algorithm that will be discussed in a later section. ii. It is particularly natural to generalize the movement of a rook to larger chessboards and higher dimensions. Compare this to a piece like a queen, for which the \diagonal" movement would have to be specified in higher dimensions. iii. The rook does not suffer from the \boundary" conditions that a knight or a king might. For example, a rook on a standard 8 × 8 chessboard has 15 valid positions to move to, even if it is at the edge of the board; on the other hand, a knight or a king has very different valid moves when it is at the center as compared to the edge.

  • THE CHESS BOARD Every Tile on the Chess Board Has Its Own Unique Name
    Lesson A1: THE CHESS BOARD Every tile on the chess board has its own unique name. It might look complicated at first but as you’ll see, each row and column has something in common. For example, one column has animals hiding in it. In another row, tiles become new words when you remove the first letter. I’ve created a mnemonic for each tile to help you remember them… only, hmmm, looks like I incorrectly placed some of the tiles. You’ll spot one tile out of place in each column and row. Just make sure you put them back in their correct locations before extracting any Each row and column follows conclusions. Female Compound word Words contain Past tense verb a rule, with the exception Sounds like a letter an animal gendered words Related to colors of one tile that’s been moved out of place.

Moreover, it is a repertoire that will stand the test of time. The repertoire is based on 1 d4 and 2 c4, following up with methodical play in the centre. Many of the recommendations overlap and I think his approach against the solid main lines is very sensible. Watson uses his vast opening knowledge to pick cunning move-orders and poisonous sequences that will force opponents to think for themselves, providing a true test of chess understanding.

  • Analytical Corrections, Additions and Enhancements for Alekhine's The
    Analytical Corrections, Additions and Enhancements For Alekhine’s The Book of the New York International Chess Tournament 1924 by Taylor Kingston The games and note variations in this book were analyzed by the engine Rybka 3 UCI running in “infinite analysis” mode. During this process, differences between Alekhine’s conclusions and recommendations, and those of Rybka, were found. We present here the corrections, additions and enhancements thus revealed that we consider significant: not minor half-pawn differences, but cases where an important tactical shot was missed, where a resource that could have changed a loss to a draw or win was overlooked, where a good move was called bad (or vice versa), or where a position was misevaluated. Also some cases where there was no real mistake, but an especially interesting variation, or a much stronger one, was not pointed out. We did not concern ourselves with changes in opening theory since 1924. If a game is not mentioned, it means no significant error in or improvement to its notes was found. Numbers given with some variations represent Rybka’s evaluation of the position to the nearest hundredth of a pawn, e.g. a difference of exactly one pawn, with no other relevant non-material differences, has the value +1.00 when in White’s favor, or -1.00 when in Black’s. A position where Rybka considers White better by 3½ pawns (or the equivalent, such as a minor piece) would get the value +3.50, the advantage of a rook +5.00, etc. These numbers may vary some from one machine to another, or with the length of time allowed for analysis, but are generally valid and reliable, and serve as a useful shorthand for comparisons that would otherwise require detailed explanation.
