Using Heuristic-Search Based Engines for Estimating Human Skill at Chess

Authors: Guid, Matej | Bratko, Ivan

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Establishing heuristic-search based chess programs as appropriate tools for estimating human skill levels at chess may seem impossible due to the following issues: the programs’ evaluations and decisions tend to change with the depth of search and with the program used. In this research, we provide an analysis of the differences between heuristic-search based programs in estimating chess skill. We used four different chess programs to perform analyses of large data sets of recorded human decisions, and obtained very similar rankings of skill-based performances of selected chess players using any of these programs at various levels of search. A conclusion … Show more

Zugzwangs in Chess Studies

Authors: Haworth, G.McC. | van der Heijden, H.M.J.F. | Bleicher, E.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Van der Heijden’s ENDGAME STUDY DATABASE IV, HHDB IV, is the definitive collection of 76,132 chess studies. The zugzwang position or zug , one in which the side to move would prefer not to, is a frequent theme in the literature of chess studies. In this third data-mining of HHDB IV, we report on the occurrence of sub-7-man zugs there as discovered by the use of CQL and Nalimov endgame tables (EGTs). We also mine those Zugzwang Studies in which a zug more significantly appears in both its White-to-move (wtm) and Black-to-move (btm) forms. We provide … Show more
