Next: 14.3.1 Sequential Computer Chess Up: 14 Asynchronous Applications Previous: 14.2.4 Performance Analysis 14.3 Computer Chess As this book shows, distributed-memory, multiple-instruction stream (MIMD) computers are successful in performing a large class of scientific computations. As discussed in Section and the earlier chapters, these synchronous and loosely synchronous problems tend to have regular, homogeneous data sets and the algorithms are usually ``crystalline'' in nature. Recognizing this, C P explored a set of algorithms which had irregular structure (as in Chapter ) and asynchronous execution. At the start of this study, we were very unclear as to what parallel performance to expect. In fact, we achieved good speedup even in these hard problems. Thus, as an attempt to explore a part of this interesting, poorly understood region in algorithm space, we implemented chess on an nCUBE-1 hypercube. Besides being a fascinating field of study in its own right, computer chess is an interesting challenge for parallel computers because: It is not clear how much parallelism is actually available-the important method of alpha-beta pruning conflicts with parallelism.

Computer Chess A Memorial to BRUTE FORCE by Louis Kessler Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada This page is dedicated to my computer program "Brute Force", a chess-playing program that participated in the 8th and 9th North American Computer Chess Championships in 1977 and 1978. I hope you find this presentation interesting, especially from a historical viewpoint. I also present several challenges to current computer chess programmers, and in so doing, hope that these can stimulate new thoughts in the advances of computer chess programming and artificial intelligence. next contents my pages Contents The Beginnings of a Chess-playing Program BRUTE FORCE vs FINESSE Preparing for World-Class Competition Seattle, Washington, 1977 - The 8th N.A.C.C.C. ... More Information about Chess and Computer Chess Also feel free to interactively play the BRUTE FORCE games next prev contents ... my pages The Beginnings of a Chess-playing Program I was fortunate enough to have entered high school at the beginning of the computer revolution. In 1972, our city's high schools were provided access to a Control Data Corporation mainframe computer. The access was via a card reader and printer in our school. We had two keypunches and the students were allowed to keypunch programs onto cards, submit the cards via the card reader, and wait a few minutes for the program listing and output to be returned and printed. I immediately took to this, card punching programs in the FORTRAN programming language for all sorts of things. I starting keeping statistics for my touch football team. I set up a school date-matching service, and had everyone in school - students and teachers included - fill out an Optical Mark Reading (OMR) card answering questions about themselves and what they would like in their date. I even figured out a way to simulate a hockey game complete with team and individual scoring statistics; we had 12 friends each pick a team and I simulated a complete 72 game professional hockey season, posting the game summaries, team standings, and scoring stats each week.

Abstract The checkers program Chinook has won the right to play a 40-game match for the World Checkers Championship against Dr. Marion Tinsley. This was earned by placing second, after Dr. Tinsley, at the 1990 U.S. National Open, the biennial event used to determine a challenger for the Championship. This is the first time a program has earned the right to contest for a human World Championship. In an exhibition match played in December 1990, Tinsley narrowly defeated Chinook 7.5 - 6.5. This paper describes the program, the research problems encountered and our solutions. Many of the techniques used for computer chess are directly applicable to computer checkers. However, the problems of building a world championship caliber program force us to address some issues that have, to date, been largely ignored by the computer chess community.

G13GAM Game Theory Further notes on computer chess Most of these topics are not `examinable'; they are here mainly for interest, especially for those of you who may find yourselves writing programs for some game or other. I have tried to keep the discussion general as far as possible, but a little of it is very chess-specific. Basic search strategy, including code, was discussed in lectures and real live code given on a handout obtainable from me. Alpha-beta pruning is discussed on a separate page. Complete source code listings of some programs . See me if you want/need further references to chess-related Web pages. Iterative deepening Killers and history Transposition tables Quiescence ...

Otherwise, you may be able to explore an equivalent directory using anonymous ftp . The version there is not my current version, and in particular the static evaluation is very limited. You should be warned that Notchess was written some years ago, and the old version you have access to has not been developed since then; there are much better freebie programs around now, especially if you want a seriously strong opponent.

Computer Chess History by Bill Wall In 1945 Alan Turing (1912-1954) used chess-playing as an example of what a computer could do. Turing himself was a weak chess player. In 1946 Alan Turing made his first reference to machine intelligence in connection with chess-playing. In 1947, Alan Turing specified the first chess program for chess. In 1948 the UNIVAC computer was advertised as the strongest computer in the world. So strong, that it could play chess and gin rummy so perfectly that no human opponent could beat it. In 1948 Turing challenged Donald Michie to see who could first write a simple chess-playing algorithm. In March, 1949 Claude Shannon (1916-2001) described how to program a computer and a Ferranti digital machine was programmed to solve mates in two moves. He proposed basic strategies for restricting the number of possibilities to be considered in a game of chess. Shannon was an avid chess player. He first proposed his idea of programming a computer for chess at the National Institute for Radio Engineers (IRE) Convention in New York. In 1950, Alan Turing wrote the first computer chess program. The same year he proposed the Turing Test that in time, a computer could be programmed (such as playing chess) to acquire abilities rivalling human intelligence. If a human did not see the other human or computer during an imitation game such as chess, he/she would not know the difference between the human and the computer.
