Question:
Chess equation?

Is their an algebraic equation to figure your next move in the game of chess. I figure that this is a possibility since i believe that our brain unknowingly uses it, but is not perfected. To start you off, look for variables within the chess board such as the fact that their are 64 spaces in a chess board in which 32 are covered by a piece and 32 are open. 32Sc+32So=62S. Then see if you can add piece movements to the equation as well as keeping track of how the equation 32Sc+32So=62S changes as pieces are lost. One warning, i do not know the answer but can already tell that it is an extremely long equation so just go as far as you feel or think you can go.

Chess engines are computers that can play chess there are too many variables and combinations of moves for a chess game to be summarized in a single equation/formula. These programs take into account an enormous number of factors, including, but not limited to:

-- possible legal moves

-- moves that lead to material (dis)advantages

-- strategic position

-- taking/keeping the initiative

-- shortest path to checkmate

-- disabling opponent pieces

-- traps and sacrifices



You may have heard of the "Man vs. Machine" game that was televised on ESPN in 2003 between Garry Kasparov and Deep Junior, a powerful chess engine. The match ended in a tie, which speaks to the complexities that a computer must calculate to mimic the human brain.

before everything, you could opt for a fashion of REPRESENTING THE products on the CHESSBOARD--this would certainly be completed uniquely. you could then choose a fashion of determining that's the main suitable pass to make, and HEREIN lies the essential question, considering as long as you could no longer stress an opponent's pass (that's to declare that there are tiers of freedom), there won't be a diverse answer as to a thank you to realize "checkmate," and enable's no longer ignore "en passant" or "castling". What mathematical operations would you employ to indicate such, on condition that a pastime is a DISCRETE DIFFUSION recommendations-set of kinds and would proceed alongside fairly some paths (from start to end); apart from, as you realize, the pastime is what would be termed "a mechanical technique" and would desire to have a fashion of being represented...yet whether there is a thank you to discover "the main suitable pass" does not look a possibility considering a comfortable substitute IN A POSIONAL VARIABLE this form of pawn in a diverse place would reason important DEVIATION FROM the different course or maybe impact effect. ultimately, in spite of the undeniable fact that a chessboard is an 8x8 matrix, and in line with possibility there are some regulations for working with the climate, which includes specific products ATTRACTING OR BEING ATTRACTED via different products, it can be a worldwide fairly than interior sight remember or form of operation--quickly, interaction of things, that's what the pastime is all approximately, simultaneous answer!

I don't see how that would work. You are not taking into account the other player moves or the fact your pieces can move many different ways.

I think you would need an equation for each type of piece which took into account the pieces around it.

scientists are working on the "theoretical perfect chess game" where u can win every time-- but very hard

-

to answer ur question- no their is no "equation"

-but yes there is programming, when u play a computer in chess, all the computer is doing is "making calculations"

There is currently no equation, or system of equations for chess.



Mathematicians think it will be an impossible game to solve, however they have recently solved draughts. Because there are so many different combinations of moves, there is probably no way to win every time...

you can assign values to each piece and positions

but the difficult part will come from valuing positional advantages. also programming to do gambits is hard too.

it will not be a single equation. most of it will be "if" programming probbaly

Not algebraic. chess is a matrix. I do not know much more than that.

No, good chess players are not math geniuses.:)
