Chess Pure Strategies are Probably Chaotic

چکیده

It is odd that chess grandmasters often disagree in their analysis of positions, sometimes even of simple ones, and that a grandmaster can hold his own against an powerful analytic machine such as Deep Blue. The fact that there must exist pure winning strategies for chess is used to construct a control strategy function. It is then shown that chess strategy is equivalent to an autonomous system of differential equations, and conjectured that the system is chaotic. If true the conjecture would explain the forenamed peculiarities and would also imply that there cannot exist a static evaluator for chess.

Why Chess and Backgammon can be solved in pure positional uniformly optimal strategies

We study existence of (subgame perfect) Nash equilibria (NE) in pure positional strategies in finite positional n-person games with perfect information and terminal payoffs. However, these games may have moves of chance and cycles. Yet, we assume that All Infinite Plays Form One Outcome a∞, in addition to the set of Terminal outcomes VT . This assumption will be called the AIPFOOT condition. Fo...

Effects of the Lateral- and Double-Thinking Strategies on the Chess Positions Solving and Performance Time

Background. The game of chess, which is viewed as a symbol of intellectual prowess, is a valuable educational tool which can improve cognitive behavior such as thinking models, etc.; but the effects of thinking strategy such as double thinking strategies (DTS) and lateral thinking strategies (LTS) on the chess performance is not investigated. Objectives. This study aimed to measure the effects...

A four-person chess-like game without Nash equilibria in pure stationary strategies

In this paper we give an example of a finite positional game with perfect information and without moves of chance (a chess-like game) that has no Nash equilibria in pure stationary strategies. In this example the number n of players is 4, the number p of terminals is 5; furthermore, there is only one directed cycle. On the other hand, it is known that a chess-like game has a Nash equilibrium (N...

Chess-like games may have no uniform Nash equilibria even in mixed strategies

Recently, it was shown that Chess-like games may have no uniform (subgame perfect) Nash equilibria in pure positional strategies. Moreover, Nash equilibria may fail to exist already in two-person games in which all infinite plays are equivalent and ranked as the worst outcome by both players. In this paper, we extend this negative result further, providing examples that are uniform Nash equilib...

The Strategic View of Biological Agents

What is a strategy? The term strategy has been used by many disciplines in a variety of contexts ranging, for example, from the game of chess and the Cuban missile crisis to markets, computer networks, political systems, cooperation, mating, parasitism, intragenomic conflict, and growth patterns. Despite this wide use of the term, only one discipline—game theory— has carefully examined the conc...
