    Computer Analysis of World Chess Champions 65 COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF WORLD CHESS CHAMPIONS1 Matej Guid2 and Ivan Bratko2 Ljubljana, Slovenia ABSTRACT Who is the best chess player of all time? Chess players are often interested in this question that has never been answered authoritatively, because it requires a comparison between chess players of different eras who never met across the board. In this contribution, we attempt to make such a comparison. It is based on the evaluation of the games played by the World Chess Champions in their championship matches. The evaluation is performed by the chess-playing program CRAFTY. For this purpose we slightly adapted CRAFTY. Our analysis takes into account the differences in players' styles to compensate the fact that calm positional players in their typical games have less chance to commit gross tactical errors than aggressive tactical players. Therefore, we designed a method to assess the difculty of positions. Some of the results of this computer analysis might be quite surprising. Overall, the results can be nicely interpreted by a chess expert. 1. INTRODUCTION Who is the best chess player of all time? This is a frequently posed and interesting question, to which there is no well founded, objective answer, because it requires a comparison between chess players of different eras who never met across the board. With the emergence of high-quality chess programs a possibility of such an objective comparison arises. However, so far computers were mostly used as a tool for statistical analysis of the players' results. Such statistical analyses often do neither reect the true strengths of the players, nor do they reect their quality of play.

  • The Wangling Wizards the Chess Problems of the Warton Brothers
    The Wangling Wizards The chess problems of the Warton brothers Compiled by Michael McDowell ½ û White to play and mate in 3 British Chess Problem Society 2005 The Wangling Wizards Introduction Tom and Joe Warton were two of the most popular British chess problem composers of the twentieth century. They were often compared to the American "Puzzle King" Sam Loyd because they rarely composed problems illustrating formal themes, instead directing their energies towards hoodwinking the solver. Piquant keys and well-concealed manoeuvres formed the basis of a style that became known as "Wartonesque" and earned the brothers the nickname "the Wangling Wizards". Thomas Joseph Warton was born on 18 th July 1885 at South Mimms, Hertfordshire, and Joseph John Warton on 22 nd September 1900 at Notting Hill, London. Another brother, Edwin, also composed problems, and there may have been a fourth composing Warton, as a two-mover appeared in the August 1916 issue of the Chess Amateur under the name G. F. Warton. After a brief flourish Edwin abandoned composition, although as late as 1946 he published a problem in Chess . Tom and Joe began composing around 1913. After Tom’s early retirement from the Metropolitan Police Force they churned out problems by the hundred, both individually and as a duo, their total output having been estimated at over 2600 problems. Tom died on 23rd May 1955. Joe continued to compose, and in the 1960s published a number of joints with Jim Cresswell, problem editor of the Busmen's Chess Review , who shared his liking for mutates. Many pleasing works appeared in the BCR under their amusing pseudonym "Wartocress".

  • World Chess Federation (FIDE) Dear Berik Balgabajev, in 2007, the FIDE
    World Chess Federation (FIDE) Dear Berik Balgabajev, In 2007, the FIDE Presidential Board gave us the right to organize the 2011 World Cup Tournament in Tallinn. We are sincerely happy to have finally received the honorable task to organize such a prestigious chess tournament. The Estonian Chess Federation has cooperated with both the state and the city government of Tallinn since 2002 trying to receive the possibility to organize a Chess Olympiad in Estonia.Taking into consideration that 2016 marks the 100th birthday of our great legendary GM Paul Keres, that year appears predestined to hold this outstanding chess event in our country. Regarding the organization of the 2011 World Cup chess tournament in Tallinn, we have been working continuously to find the best solutions and ways to guarantee a top level tournament, especially when taking the current economical situation into account. We have received requests from your side to pay the deposit of 10.000 EUR in order to emphasize our determination to organize the 2011 World Cup tournament. Before paying out the deposit, we obtained an additional confirmation from the city of Tallinn, the Estonian state and from the Estonian Olympic Committee underlining that this event has the highest priority for the whole nation, and that we still have their support for organizing the World Cup in 2011. We have received the draft of cooperation agreement previously from you and we are working on that. Since the format of the World Cup tournament has changed, as has the economical situation in the world, we are planning to send you a couple of minor suggestions, additions and appendixes to that agreement in the nearest future.

  • Semmering 1926 & 1937 Extract and Extended Reprint of the Great Original by Jan Van Reek
    HEALTH RESORTS: Semmering 1926 & 1937 Extract and extended reprint of the great original by Jan van Reek, www.endgame.nl SEMMERING 1926 The southern road from Wien leads to the Semmering Pass. The Grand Hotel Panhans was built at the Semmering in 1888. This facility was used for a tournament of eighteen masters from 7 until 29 iii 1926. Spielmann’s name stood not on the first list of Bernstein! Later he was invited. Nimzowitsch and Tartakower led at first. Spielmann and Alekhine competed for the first prize then. Finally, Rudolf Spielman surprisingly won, ahead of Alekhine on second place. Vidmar sr. was sole third, followed by Nimzowitsch and Tartakower as fourth, Rubinstein and Tarrasch as sixth, in total 18 players contested: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1013596 (Chessgames) Grand Hotel Panhans at the Semmering Casino of Baden bei Wien in modern times SEMMERING / BADEN bei Wien 1937 Casinos had to spend a part of their income on cultural aims. And a chess tournament is relatively cheap and deluxe promotion. That was the base for many chess events in casinos. When Austrian casinos organised a grandmaster contest in 1937, chaos ruled. Some men got phony invitations at first. Only Capablanca was treated with respect. Matters were sorted out, before the tournament was played from 8 until 27 ix 1937. Eight excellent masters carried out double rounds. World champion Euwe was chief arbiter. When he left, Spielmann replaced him. The first four rounds were conducted at the Grand Hotel Panhans in Semmering, and then moved to the Hotel Grüner Baum in Baden bei Wien, Austria for the duration of the tournament.

  • Multilinear Algebra and Chess Endgames
    Games of No Chance MSRI Publications Volume 29, 1996 Multilinear Algebra and Chess Endgames LEWIS STILLER Abstract. This article has three chief aims: (1) To show the wide utility of multilinear algebraic formalism for high-performance computing. (2) To describe an application of this formalism in the analysis of chess endgames, and results obtained thereby that would have been impossible to compute using earlier techniques, including a win requiring a record 243 moves. (3) To contribute to the study of the history of chess endgames, by focusing on the work of Friedrich Amelung (in particular his apparently lost analysis of certain six-piece endgames) and that of Theodor Molien, one of the founders of modern group representation theory and the first person to have systematically numerically analyzed a pawnless endgame. 1. Introduction Parallel and vector architectures can achieve high peak bandwidth, but it can be difficult for the programmer to design algorithms that exploit this bandwidth efficiently. Application performance can depend heavily on unique architecture features that complicate the design of portable code [Szymanski et al. 1994; Stone 1993]. The work reported here is part of a project to explore the extent to which the techniques of multilinear algebra can be used to simplify the design of high- performance parallel and vector algorithms [Johnson et al. 1991]. The approach is this: Define a set of fixed, structured matrices that encode architectural primitives • of the machine, in the sense that left-multiplication of a vector by this matrix is efficient on the target architecture. Formulate the application problem as a matrix multiplication.
