Chess [1]

Chess,
a two-player zero-sum abstract strategy board game with perfect information as classified by John von Neumann. Chess has an estimated state-space complexity of 1046 [2] , the estimated game tree complexity of 10123 is based on an average branching factor of 35 and an average game length of 80 ply [3] . This page is about the basic chess items, chessboard, pieces and moves, and how they are considered or encoded inside a chess program, to either represent a chess position inside its search and to play the game of chess. It sub-pages intersect with evaluation, board representation and even search topics.

Chess and Psychology

Chess and Philosophy

Quote from Philosophy Looks at Chess [13] :

The game of chess has endured since at least the sixth century. Its earliest variant, the Indian game of Chaturanga, was from the beginning a game for thinkers. Since its inception, scholars, statesmen, strategists, and warriors have been fascinated by the game and its variants. German philosopher Emanuel Lasker and famed French artist Marcel Duchamp were both Grandmasters at chess. Karl Marx played chess avidly, as did Sir Bertrand Russell, Jean-Paul Sartre, and the logical positivist Max Black. Jean-Jacques Rousseau [14] mentions in his Confessions that, at the time, he "had another expedient, not less solid, in the game of chess, to which I regularly dedicated, at Maugis's, the evenings on which I did not go to the theater. I became acquainted with M. de Légal, M. Husson, Philidor, and all the great chess players of the day, without making the least improvement in the game." More recently, philosopher Stuart Rachels reports that his father, the late philosopher and prominent ethicist James Rachels, received a bribe from a Russian Grandmaster while he was the chair of the U.S. Chess Federation's Ethics committee.
