Louis Kessler's Chess and Computer Chess Links This list is primarily made up of sites of interest to chess players with an interest in the advances of Computer Chess. Of particular interest to me is the earlier stages of development of computer chess programs, primarily through the 1970's (which I was involved in). The main contenders for best program from that era until today also has my interest, as does Kasparov and his "deep" involvement with computers.

Computer-Chess Club Charter Important Information - Please Read Carefully The Computer-Chess Club is a free service that has been set up by a group of individuals who became concerned with the persistent breaches of netiquette occurring on the newsgroup, rec.games.chess.computer, namely a very high level of off-topic posts and a very high level of personal insults and abuse. It was felt that a group where a full range of computer chess ideas could be discussed, and, if necessary attacked, without also making personal attacks on the deliverer of the ideas, would be productive, and might well encourage various well-known figures who were no longer posting in rec.games.chess.computer to return to the arena of discussion without fear of insult or abuse. Thus, the Computer-Chess Club is a moderated message board which is open to the general public (known as "members"). Its purpose is to allow the members to disseminate and exchange information as it pertains to computer chess without the distractions of personal attacks and off-topic posts. Once a member gains access to the message board, he may read all messages and post new or response messages with the proviso that these new or response messages:

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.

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 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The idea of creating a chess -playing machine dates back to the eighteenth century . Around , the chess playing automaton called The Turk became famous before being exposed as a hoax . After that, the field of mechanical chess research languished until the advent of the digital computer in the . Since then, chess enthusiasts and computer engineers have built, with increasing degrees of seriousness and success, chess-playing machines and computer programs. Chess-playing computers are available for negligible cost, and there are many programs (even the free GNU Chess Amy Pepito Crafty ... Beowulf 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 Shredder or Fritz have surpassed even world champion caliber players at blitz and short time controls. Hydra beat Shredder by 5.5 to 2.5 in 2004 running on 16 nodes; and would seem to be the strongest chess system. One should note however that Hydra was running on technically superior, specially designed hardware architecture, whereas Shredder was running on a conventional computer.

31. Computer Chess History By Bill Wall (July 18, 2004) In 1950, Alan Turing wrote the first computer chess program. computer chessexperts predicted that a computer would be world chess champion in 10 years. http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lab/7378/comphis.htm

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.

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.
