  • Duchamp, Chess and the Avant-Garde
    ENDGAME: DUCHAMP, CHESS AND THE AVANT-GARDE Press kit 29.10.2016—22.01.2017 Fundació Joan Miró Now I am content to just play. I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art – and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position. The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem. […] I have come to the conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists. Marcel Duchamp. Address at the banquet of the New York State Chess Association in 1952 1 Contents Press release 3 Curator 9 Exhibition layout 12 Sections of the exhibition and selection of works 13 Full list of works 28 Artists and sources of the works 35 Publication 38 Activities 39 General information 41 2 Press release Endgame. Duchamp, Chess and the Avant-Garde Fundació Joan Miró 29 October 2016 – 22 January 2017 Opening: 28 October 2016, 7 pm Curator: Manuel Segade Sponsored by the BBVA Foundation The Fundació Joan Miró presents Endgame: Duchamp, Chess and the Avant-Garde, an exhibition that re-reads the history of modern art through the lens of its relationship to chess. The exhibition, sponsored by the BBVA Foundation and curated by Manuel Segade, looks at chess as a leitmotif that runs through the avant-garde, and metaphorically offers an innovative and playful insight into the history of modern art. Endgame: Duchamp, Chess and the Avant-Garde brings together around eighty works, including paintings and sculptures – some of which have never been shown before in Spain – by some of the key artists of the twentieth century, drawn from major public and private collections in Europe, America, and Middle East.

  • The Reviled Art Stuart Rachels
    The Reviled Art Stuart Rachels “If chess is an art, it is hardly treated as such in the United States. Imagine what it would be like if music were as little known or appreciated. Suppose no self-respecting university would offer credit courses in music, and the National Endowment for the Arts refused to pay for any of it. A few enthusiasts might compose sonatas, and study and admire one another’s efforts, but they would largely be ignored. Once in a while a Mozart might capture the public imagination, and like Bobby Fischer get written about in Newsweek. But the general attitude would be that, while this playing with sound might be clever, and a great passion for those who care about it, still in the end it signifies nothing very important.” —James Rachels1 Bragging and Whining When I was 11, I became the youngest chess master in American history. It was great fun. My picture was put on the cover of Chess Life; I appeared on Shelby Lyman’s nationally syndicated chess show; complete strangers asked me if I was a genius; I got compared to my idol, Bobby Fischer (who was not a master until he was 13); and I generally enjoyed the head-swelling experience of being treated like a king, as a kid among adults. When I wasn’t getting bullied at school, I felt special. And the fact that I was from Alabama, oozing a slow Southern drawl, must have increased my 2 mystique, since many northeastern players assumed that I lived on a farm, and who plays chess out there? In my teens, I had some wonderful experiences.

  • Mapping Chess Aesthetics Onto Procedurally Generated Chess-Like Games
    Mapping Chess Aesthetics onto Procedurally Generated Chess-like Games Jakub Kowalski1?, Antonios Liapis2, and Łukasz Żarczyński3 1 Institute of Computer Science, University of Wrocław, [email protected] 2 Institute of Digital Games, University of Malta, [email protected] 3 Institute of Computer Science, University of Wrocław, [email protected] Abstract. Variants of chess have been generated in many forms and for several reasons, such as testbeds for artificial intelligence research in gen- eral game playing. This paper uses the visual properties of chess pieces as inspiration to generate new shapes for other chess-like games, targeting specific visual properties which allude to the pieces’ in-game function. The proposed method uses similarity measures in terms of pieces’ strate- gic role and movement in a game to identify the new pieces’ closest representatives in chess. Evolution then attempts to minimize the dis- tance from chess pieces’ visual properties, resulting in new shapes which combine one or more chess pieces’ visual identities. While experiments in this paper focus on two chess-like games from previous publications, the method can be used for broader generation of game visuals based on functional similarities of components to known, popular games. Keywords: Procedural Content Generation, Chess Variants, Digital Aes- thetics, Evolutionary Algorithms, Simplified Boardgames 1 Introduction For over a decade, digital games have been the domain of choice for research in computational and artificial intelligence, culminating in several handbooks on the topic [1, 2]. The vast majority of the research output on this domain has been treating digital games as systems, focusing on their functional aspects.

To 64 studii z oboru vdiovllch a pdicovlich koncovek by Bediich Thelen (1905-72). Thelen was little known outside his own country, but was among the leading players within it; he had a first place in an international tourney (Tapolcza Fiirdo 1926) to his credit, he achieved second place in a wartime championship of Bohemia and Moravia, and he was the captain of tl.re Czechoslovak team at the 1964 Olympiad. He published a textbook, "A detailed treatise on chess". in 1929. I have known the author of this little book for more than 40 years. Of coune, I first met him behind a chessboard. I already knew that he was a friend of the chess master Richard Rdti. And that fact in itself said a great deal to me, a very great deal... Dr Artur Mandler is a master of the chess study. A renowned rnaster! His works have something to say to chess enthusiasts, and he knows irow to say it. So I advised him to select for this collection those of his studies which would be of the greatest value to practical players, namely some of his rook and pawn studies. Was this good advice? Do not practical players find all that they need in endgame textbooks, which in any case are larger and more comprehensive? The practical player seeks usefulness, not beauty! But why, in that case, do textbooks contain so many studies? Because the effect ofan artistic work is stronger and longer-lasting than that of exhaustive notes in a textbook.

We propose a piece combinations based on a particular TSV specified. The method to perform an exhaustive search of piece combinations piece combination consist of different possible combinations based on any given total Shannon value. Nested loops are used of queens, rooks, knights, bishops and pawns that are equal to along with certain sentinel controls that comply with the basic any given TSV and they are technically ‘legal’ in the game. rules of chess. For example, there are 9 loops assigned for the In Section II, we review some related works ranging from queen, as the maximum legal number of queens on the board is 9, including the promoted pawns.
