http://db.uwaterloo.ca/~alopez-o/divulge/chimp.html

Extractions: UPDATE In this time of ``intelligent'' cameras, electronic games and coffee-makers it seems strange that at some point many computer scientists thought that computers would never be able to perform nontrivial tasks. Even today, many people are still unaware of what computers can and cannot do. It is sometimes amusing to see a scientist's face light up surprise when shown some computer tools that have been available for over a decade (like computer graphics, symbolic mathematics, etc), and their disillusionment when told that computers still can't efficiently perform some apparently simple tasks (simple for a computer) like finding the optimal route to be followed by a courier delivering packages all over the city. The history of computer chess is plagued by similar under-and-overstatements put forward by laypeople and experts alike. Though chess is an ideal problem for computers to attack. Its aims are clearly defined (to play good chess) and its advancement can be easily measured (player ranking). Computer chess may give a down to earth perspective on what is and is not currently possible with a computer and how much effort it may take to achieve an specific goal in computer development.

http://www.andromeda.com/people/ddyer/go/chess-vs-go.html

Extractions: Why is computer Go hard, why is computer Chess easy? The real stumbling block in Go is developing a workable set of heristics to model the playing process. However, this is the problem because it's a given that brute force is out of the question. In chess programs, brute force is the only strategically or tactically significant factor in playing strength. The cleverness in chess programs is 95% directed toward doing brute force searches more efficiently. This *does* involve significant knowledge about chess, but in the end the knowledge is used mainly to order the search tree more efficiently. If the knowledge is faulty, the bad effect is that the search becomes less efficient. The moves chess programs ultimately make are almost completely dominated by counting the wood at the bottom of the search tree. In effect, the search is used to distill the rough knowledge into high potency play. On the other hand, in go programs the knowledge is all there is, because the search is impossible; so every little flaw in the the playing heuristics remains a visible flaw in the program. comments/suggestions to: ddyer@real -me.net

computer chess. computer chess implementation issues. Developers of chessplaying computer system must decide on a number of fundamental implementation issues.
http://www.fact-index.com/c/co/computer_chess.html

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Chess enthusiasts and computer engineers have attempted to build, with increasing degrees of seriousness and success, chess-playing machines since . Motivations can essentially be consolidated into two: firstly, to build a machine to play chess with for solo entertainment, and secondly, to investigate chess as a problem which might provide some insight into human cognition. In this view, the history of computer chess is both a spectacular success and a virtually complete failure. Chess-playing computers are available for negligible cost, and there are many programs (even the free GNU Chess , Amy, Pepito, Crafty , and more ) that play a game that, with the aid of virtually any modern personal computer can defeat most master players under tournament conditions, while top commercial programs like Fritz have surpassed even world champion caliber players at blitz and short time controls. However, to the surprise and disappointment of many, chess has taught us little about building machines that offer human-like intelligence, or indeed do anything except play excellent chess. For this reason, computer chess, (as with other games, like Scrabble ) is no longer of great academic interest to researchers in artificial intelligence , and has largely been replaced by more intuitive games like igo as a testing paradigm. Chess-playing programs essentially explore huge numbers of potential future moves by both players and apply a relatively simple evaluation function to the positions that result where as a game like

http://www.atariarchives.org/deli/computer_chess.php

Extractions: E ver wonder how a computer can play a game of chess? Just think about it. Chess is a strategy game. You have to study the board and plan how to maneuver your pieces. Finally, after devising a complex strategy, you play the decisive move-checkmate! How can a computer study a chess board? How can it make plans? How can it checkmate? 3) The evaluation phase: sizing up the merits of a particular position on the chess board. It wouldn't do any good for the computer to look at all those positions if it didn't know which ones were better than the others. Sure, it might know when the other guy is checkmated. But if mate isn't in sight how does it know what to do?

http://www.thycotic.com/computerchess.html

Extractions: The core system was designed to take advantage of the benefits that object oriented systems can provide in the form of reusable components, abstraction of complexity and simpler semantics when understanding a complex system. The design approach, including the reasoning behind the decisions made and the advantages and disadvantages of the resulting system are discussed in Chapter 4. The evolved coefficients were then analysed to determine whether the genetic algorithm had been successful at improving their fitness. The results of the genetic algorithm process were also analysed to find any other significances to the changes in the weighting of the factors over the course of the game. This may lead to some interesting discoveries regarding conventional thought on the relative importance of various evaluation function factors. These results and their conclusions are discussed in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 respectively.

The full version contains computer opponents - each one is like a different player with its own playing style, strengths and weaknesses. More computer opponents are available as free downloads if you have the full version. You can adjust the playing strength of each computer opponent to match your level. Chess Commander allows you to save and restore the game at any time, you can even take back an unlimited numbers of moves if you are not doing so well. This may be cheating but by going back and trying different moves you can quickly learn to play better! Back
