Abstract: This paper reports experiments using random numbers as “evaluations” in chess. Although this results in random play with a depth-1 search, it is found that strength of play rises rapidly when the depth of lookahead is increased. This counter-intuitive result is discussed and its implications for game-playing are given.

Abstract: An opponent is modelled by an assumed knowledge of his evaluation of positions in a game. The opponent may be fallible. Acting on one’s model of the opponent, we discuss the risks of doing so, finding a class of riskless procedures. With respect to possible gains and losses, it is shown that these may be combined into distinct strategies, four of which are exhibited and characterized by their presumed balance among them.

Abstract: We describe a first-order inductive framework, PAL, capable of learning chess patterns from a combination of two sources, viz. general-purpose knowledge about chess and simple example descriptions supplied to it. It is believed to be the first time useful chess patterns have been so learned. In order to establish that patterns so learned are applicable in play, a simple playing strategy for the King and Rook against King (KRK) endgame has constructed with patterns learned by PAL. A sketch of PAL’s limitations and of first-order inductive frameworks’ limitations in general is given; in chess-like domains, restrictions are essential for limiting …the number of clauses required for induction and for guiding the search for them. Conclusions are given about the state of pattern learning achieved and achievable with presently available means. Show more
