Shura-Bura's Program,
an early Soviet chess program supposedly developed by a group of scientists at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics headed by Mikhail R. Shura-Bura. A brief description of the program was given in an interview with Shura-Bura on computer chess by V. Tomanov, published as part in the 8th Bulletin of the Botvinnik Tal 1961 revenge-match for the world chess championship - entitled "The best move in 58 seconds", cited in Jaap van den Herik's Ph.D. thesis Computerschaak, Schaakwereld en Kunstmatige Intelligentie [1]. Further, two games of the program were published. However, it seems, the program mentioned by Shura-Bura was not his own program, but a forerunner of the ITEP Chess Program developed by Georgy Adelson-Velsky et al., also due to Shura-Bura's quote, not mentioning his own chess program, and more recently, suggested by Sergei S. Markoff [2].
Description
The program is reported without any search to select the best move with the help of a static evaluation function, which had seven distinct components:
- Material (Pawn 1; Knight, Bishop 3.5; Rook 5; Queen 9.5; King 109)
- Mobility
- Static Exchange Evaluation
- Pawn Structure
- Center Control
- King Safety - Patterns
- King Safety - Pawn Shield
