To Win Chess, Machines Think Human Chicago Tribune Chicago Tribune (KRT) CHICAGO - Garry Kasparov, the world's best chess player, may not realize it yet, but he's doomed. It really doesn't matter whether he wins his current match with a supercomputer, according to experts in artificial intelligence, or AI. They agree that computer technology is advancing so fast that within a few years machines will be well beyond the chess skills of any human. Already, Kasparov has experienced defeat at the hands of a computer: IBM's Deep Blue in 1997. And three months ago Russian grandmaster Vladimir Kramnik tied an eight-game match against Germany's Deep Fritz program. Kasparov's new competitor, the Israel-built Deep Junior program, had not lost a game to a human in two years. And although it is holding its own in the six-game match, which is tied at two apiece as of Sunday, what the man vs. machine chess match in New York is really all about is the growing ascendancy of the computer. For computers, chess is no longer a challenge. It is not even the most intellectual game - the ancient Chinese board game Go and the computer game Civilization each require more sophisticated strategy. And cheap computer chess games can beat most players on Earth.

http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/2/8/163246/1176

Extractions: Gary Kasparov, the world's number one ranked chess player, finished his latest match with a computer in a draw. The six-game match, an attempt by Kasparov to avenge his 1997 defeat to IBM's Deep Blue, ended with a single victory apiece for Kasparov and the Israeli-made Deep Junior, with draws in the remaining four games. Interestingly, Deep Junior can process only 1.5% as many moves per second as Deep Blue could (3 million vs. 200 million), but still performed nearly as well against Kasparov, indicating that top chess-playing software may be beginning to rely less on brute force and more on something closer to human-style play.

Extractions: NEW YORK Chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov has drawn against a computer in a six game man vs machine contest. Kasparov was attempting to avenge his defeat in 1997 by IBM supercomputer Deep Blue. This time around, playing in New York against Deep Junior, Kasparov and the computer won one match each and drew the remaining four. Kasparov appeared to be in a winning position when he first offered Junior the chance to accept a draw, an offer which was refused only for the computer to offer Kasparov a draw five moves later. The 39-year-old grandmaster was booed by the crowd for accepting the draw but after the match he was unrepentant. He said he would have pressed for a win in a similar position against a human opponent but he feared even a tiny mistake would have been severely punished by the computer. "I had one item on my agenda: not to lose. I decided it would be wiser to stop playing," Kasparov said.

On May 11, 1997, as millions worldwide watched a stunning victory unfold on television, a machine shocked the chess world by defeating the defending world champion, Gary Kasparov. Written by the man who started the adventure, Behind Deep Blue reveals the inside story of what happened behind the scenes at the two historic Deep Blue vs. Kasparov matches. This is also the story behind the quest to create the mother of all chess machines. The book unveils how a modest student project eventually produced a multimillion dollar supercomputer, from the development of the scientific ideas through technical setbacks, rivalry in the race to develop the ultimate chess machine, and wild controversies to the final triumph over the world's greatest human player. In nontechnical, conversational prose, Feng-hsiung Hsu, the system architect of Deep Blue, tells us how he and a small team of fellow researchers forged ahead at IBM with a project they'd begun as students at Carnegie Mellon in the mid-1980s: the search for one of the oldest holy grails in artificial intelligence - a machine that could beat any human chess player in a bona fide match. Back in 1949 science had conceived the foundations of modern chess computers but not until almost fifty years later - until Deep Blue - would the quest be realized.

Stephen Coles The domain of computer chess playing is suggested as a general means for quantifying the distance by which we have not yet achieved our stated objectives in artificial intelligence. The game of chess traditionally has been considered, at least in Western societies, as the epitome of intellectual skill and accomplishment. Herbert Simon and later John McCarthy, among the cofounders of AI, have referred to chess as the Drosophila of AI, speaking metaphorically about the importance for genetics of Thomas Morgan's early research with fruit flies, for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1933. This metaphor is appropriate, since the quantification of human chess play has been institutionalized over the last 40 years by giving every tournament player a numerical rating, a metric that also can be used to measure progress in machine performance.

This FAQ initially began has a supplement to the official XBoard and Winboard FAQ by Tim Mann. Winboard has many functions. It is a PGN reader, a client to allow users to connect with online servers, serves as a interface for winboard compatible programs and allows engine versus engine matches on the same Computer. Initially, this FAQ focused mainly on guiding and assisting a new user to install winboard engines such as Crafty ,Comet etc successfully in Winboard (as well as common Winboard compatible interfaces Since I began the FAQ, there has being an explosion in interfaces (both commercial and free) that support Winboard engines. Also there has being an increase in interest in another Chess engine protocol, namely - Universal Chess interface (UCI) engines. This has also led to a increase in number of "Adaptors" that can be used in various complicated ways to import engines to various interface. As a result, this FAQ has increased from 2 pages to 5 to take this into account. There are comprehensive sections on the use of The King or Chessmaster in Winboard, Fritz 7 and Arena for example.
E186: Computer Chess

http://www.ads.tuwien.ac.at/research/Chess.html

Extractions: At the Algorithms and Programming Methodology Group (now called Algorithms and Data Structures Group ), a special program for playing chess endgames based on a newly developed theory has been implemented. This program uses the strict rules-search method (Barth and Barth, 1991, 1992). It is essential that part of the positions of the endgame considered have to be treated by rules, without it being necessary, however, to find rules for all positions; indeed, some positions may be left undecided. Thus, the finding of simple rules not overburdened by exceptions is facilitated. For every position covered by the rules, they define an interval guaranteed to contain the true value. For example: "If White is to move and can capture the black Pawn the value is in [draw,win]." Note that many positions of the endgame may be ignored by the system of rules; for others an uncertainty may be left (as in the example just given). All deficiencies are supplemented and all uncertainties are removed by an appropriate alpha-beta-search. Herbeck (1995) uses the B* Algorithm. Thus, granted an appropriate amount of time, the program will find the best possible result and a corresponding move for any position of the endgame under consideration. Failing enough time, it will produce an interval showing the knowledge found before curtailment. Yet, the interval is guaranteed to contain the true value of the position. An

http://www.computeruser.com/articles/2202,4,41_2,1,0201,03.html

Extractions: The challenge to build a computer that could beat a chess grandmaster, let alone the world champion, seemed an impossible task in the early 1980s. The so-called computer chess problem was one of a few Holy Grails for computer science, and most major universities devoted a portion of their research to the problem. At Carnegie Mellon University, the foremost authority on computer chess, Dr. Hans Berliner, and his team of graduate students had designed the leading chess computer of its day-called Hitech. In 1985, a struggling graduate student was asked by Berliner to help out with Hitech on his summer leave in exchange for brownie points. The graduate student didn't like the fundamentals of Hitech and set out to solve the computer chess problem on his own, without much support from Carnegie Mellon or Berliner. The graduate student's name was Feng-Hsiung Hsu, and by 1989, his solution-a computer chess program on a single chip-had eclipsed Berliner's life's work. And in 1997, after Hsu moved the project to IBM, the computer called Deep Blue beat World Champion Garry Kasparov in a six-game match. That a weak chess player could design a machine (with the help of several programmers and grandmasters) that beat the world champion has to rank as one of the great upsets of the 20th century. The story of this upset as humbly told by Hsu himself in "Behind Deep Blue" (Princeton, 2002) makes for riveting reading.

This research is developing the computer chess program "Crafty", which is a direct descendent of Cray Blitz, the World Computer Champion from 1983 to 1989. This program is a "freeware" package available from ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt. Crafty is based on the classic BITMAP approach to representing the chess board, but uses a unique methodology called "rotated bitmaps" to significantly improve the performance of the chess engine. This program is currently searching around 800,000 nodes per second on a quad xeon processor, and is playing on ICC and chess.net regularly. Its current peak ICC ratings are 3108 (bullet), 3249 (blitz) and 2785 (standard). Crafty is portable, and uses xboard/winboard as a GUI under the appropriate operating systems.
