  • A Battle Royale
    A Battle Royale In a previous article I looked at a game between 23... d7 two legendary Hoosier players and the theme XABCDEFGHY centered upon a far advanced pawn. Should 8-+r+-+k+( one attack, or try to queen the pawn? 7zpp+rwQpzpp' Here we will revisit this theme as it often comes 6-+-zP-+-+& into play. The question revolves about how 5+-+-sn-+-% much can you sacrifice in order to get that pawn to the promised land. 4-+-+Nwq-+$ 3+-+-+-+P# Before we get to the game, let me give you an exercise: [See the diagram at right.] 2PzP-+-zP-+" 1+K+RtR-+-! Your queen has just been attacked. Give yourself 15 minutes and decide upon what best xabcdefghy play might be, and how would you play? [What pair of Hoosiers have played the most games against each other? I would venture to say that two legendary players from Kokomo; John Roush and Phil Meyers would be my guess. I'd say they have probably crossed swords over the board more than a thousand times! (Especially when you include their marathon blitz sessions!) I witnessed their most recent battle royale at the recent Super Tornado organized by Nate Bush in Indianapolis at the Delta Hotel. But I'm also sure that by the time you are reading this that they will already have played many more games at the Kokomo IHOP in their ongoing journey across the chessboard. This encounter was played at a very fast time control [g45+5], but that might have seemed slow to these battle tested veterans.

  • A Proposed Heuristic for a Computer Chess Program
    A Proposed Heuristic for a Computer Chess Program copyright (c) 2013 John L. Jerz [email protected] Fairfax, Virginia Independent Scholar MS Systems Engineering, Virginia Tech, 2000 MS Electrical Engineering, Virginia Tech, 1995 BS Electrical Engineering, Virginia Tech, 1988 December 31, 2013 Abstract How might we manage the attention of a computer chess program in order to play a stronger positional game of chess? A new heuristic is proposed, based in part on the Weick organizing model. We evaluate the 'health' of a game position from a Systems perspective, using a dynamic model of the interaction of the pieces. The identification and management of stressors and the construction of resilient positions allow effective postponements for less-promising game continuations due to the perceived presence of adaptive capacity and sustainable development. We calculate and maintain a database of potential mobility for each chess piece 3 moves into the future, for each position we evaluate. We determine the likely restrictions placed on the future mobility of the pieces based on the attack paths of the lower-valued enemy pieces. Knowledge is derived from Foucault's and Znosko-Borovsky's conceptions of dynamic power relations. We develop coherent strategic scenarios based on guidance obtained from the vital Vickers/Bossel/Max- Neef diagnostic indicators. Archer's pragmatic 'internal conversation' provides the mechanism for our artificially intelligent thought process. Initial but incomplete results are presented. keywords: complexity, chess, game

Each letter can be finessed by a + or - giving 12 possible levels. The judgement will be subjective, of course, but based on decades of experience. F = Fine or nearly new // VG = very good // G = showing acceptable signs of wear. P = Poor, structural damage (loose covers, torn pages, heavy marginalia etc.) but still providing much of interest. AN = Algebraic Notation in which, from White’s point of view, columns are called a – h and ranks are numbered 1-8 (as opposed to the old descriptive system). Figurine, in which piece names are replaced by pictograms, is now almost universal in modern books as it overcomes the language problem. In this case AN may be assumed. pp = number of pages in the book.// ed = edition // insc = inscription – e.g. a previous owner’s name on the front endpaper. o/w = otherwise. dw = Dust wrapper It may be assumed that any book published in Russia will be in the Russian language, (Cyrillic) or an Argentinian book will be in Spanish etc. Anything contrary to that will be mentioned. PB = paperback. SB = softback i.e. a flexible cover that cannot be torn easily.
