The reason for my guess is the non-linearity of chess. That is, change the position of a single piece by just one square, and you get completely different a picture, changing from win to loss to draw in a wild manner. <br /><br />Why not forget about algorithms and just look at the pieces? Knights must have safe outposts, Bishops must have open diagonals, Rooks must have open ranks and files, and all pieces must have targets to go for. And do not forget Kings! They must have dry, warm and safe homes except in endgames when they go for a fight. Is this not all very simple? Maybe the real problem is to tell which of all the simple things is the most important one.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09160555681387976338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-29997318106439114902006-12-27T15:21:00.000+01:002006-12-27T15:21:00.000+01:00Mouse,

As former computer programmer the question after algorithms is my the genes though. But even the answer to the question why no algorithm can be found is useful.Temposchluckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977208394417444785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-38957445498640297972006-12-27T15:10:00.000+01:002006-12-27T15:10:00.000+01:00Are you going to write a new chess software?

In doing so, algorithms of piece activity would do a great job. <br /><br />Or have you, considering the recent success of Deep Fritz, in mind to turn your brain into a sort of bio-computer? Again, algorithms would do a great job. <br /><br />I am not saying that there is no use of algorithms besides these jobs. Beware, I'll never dare. But I just do not see it. Maybe you can help me. <br /><br />Just remember, I also had my algorithm times with my late target feature count which turned out not to be very helpful.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09160555681387976338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-90268134658437635212006-12-27T03:22:00.000+01:002006-12-27T03:22:00.000+01:00Blue,

I wonder what the unifying idea behind activity is, i.e., what makes each instance of it, even those that look very different, instances of the same principle. Aristotle's essence...<br /><br />Perhaps it isn't a single concept but a cluster of related concepts that all have to do with potential initiative.Blue Devil Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045468316613818510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-36250032379534792792006-12-25T18:10:00.000+01:002006-12-25T18:10:00.000+01:00"...activity of pieces...".
