Chess Endgame Update
نویسنده
چکیده
John Nunn received the EGT for KRPKNP just in time to analyse the subtleties of the Kramnik-Topalov World Chess Championship Game 2 (Chessbase, 2006a) which saw the players trade a half point back and forth at moves 53b and 55w. In a demonstration of the power of the web-fuelled community, all 6-man endgame tables have now been promulgated to a considerable degree by Kyrill Kryukov's (2008) peer-to-peer initiative. Nunn (2009) is the first volume of his much anticipated second trilogy on the endgame: there is no-one better at discerning and distilling the themes which are key to good endgame play, attack or defense.

Conflict Resolution of Chinese Chess Endgame Knowledge Base
Endgame heuristics are often incorperated as part of the evaluation function used in Chinese chess programs. In our program, Contemplation, we have proposed an automatic strategy to construct a large set of endgame heuristics. In this paper, we propose a conflict resolution strategy to eliminate the conflicts among the constructed heuristic database, which is called endgame knowledge base. In o...
متن کاملProving Correctness of a KRK Chess Endgame Strategy by SAT-based Constraint Solving
Chess endgame strategies in a concise and intuitive way describe the rules the player should follow to ensure win (or draw). Endgame strategies are useful for both computer and human players. Their correctness can be proved in several ways, and in this paper we present one of them: computer assisted proof based on reduction to propositional logic, more precisely to SAT. We focus on a strategy f...
متن کاملUMRAO: A Chess Endgame Tutor
Most research in computer chess has focussed on creating an excellent chess player, with relatively little concern given to modelling how humans play chess. The research reported in this paper is aimed at investigating knowledge-based chess in the context of building a prototype chess tutor, UMRAO, which helps students learn how to play bishop-pawn endgames. In tutoring it is essential to take ...
متن کاملGP-EndChess: Using Genetic Programming to Evolve Chess Endgame Players
We apply genetic programming to the evolution of strategies for playing chess endgames. Our evolved programs are able to draw or win against an expert human-based strategy, and draw against CRAFTY—a world-class chess program, which finished second in the 2004 Computer Chess Championship.
متن کاملChess Endgames: Data and Strategy
While Nalimov’s endgame tables for Western Chess are the most used today, their Depth-to-Mate metric is not the only one and not the most effective in use. The authors have developed and used new programs to create tables to alternative metrics and recommend better strategies for endgame play.
