  • 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.

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.

  • Here Is Ian's Contribution
    Endgame Studies in 2020 by Ian Watson COVID has cancelled over-the-board tourneys, but it hasn’t interrupted chess composing. Composing has always been a work-from-home activity, so it has blossomed during lockdowns. The publication of chess compositions has continued, too. Here are four endgame studies first published during 2020. Before those, however, let me show you two studies from a composer who died in 2020. He was the extraordinary Richard K. Guy, who had reached 103 years old in 2019. He was a model for longevity, celebrating his hundredth birthday by trekking in the Rocky Mountains, at which age he still continued his work as a professional mathematician. Guy composed nearly 200 endgame studies, mainly in the period from his undergraduate years to his editorship of British Chess Magazine’s endgame study column (which he wrote from 1947 to 1951). He also collaborated with other well-known study experts, notably with Hugh Blandford and John Roycroft in inventing the GBR code (Guy-Blandford-Roycroft), which is used to classify and index chess positions in a very few symbols. You’ll find the solutions to all the studies at the end of this article, but please do try to solve them – they are solver-friendly! As usual in studies, it’s White to play and White’s task is given underneath the diagram.

  • The Classified Encyclopedia of Chess Variants
    THE CLASSIFIED ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHESS VARIANTS I once read a story about the discovery of a strange tribe somewhere in the Amazon basin. An eminent anthropologist recalls that there was some evidence that a space ship from Mars had landed in the area a millenium or two earlier. ‘Good heavens,’ exclaims the narrator, are you suggesting that this tribe are the descendants of Martians?’ ‘Certainly not,’ snaps the learned man, ‘they are the original Earth-people — it is we who are the Martians.’ Reflect that chess is but an imperfect variant of a game that was itself a variant of a germinal game whose origins lie somewhere in the darkness of time.
