How Chess Has Changed Over The Last 150 Years

Fri, 29 May 2015 18:45:00 +0100

The rules of chess have remained consistent since the early 19th Century, but that doesn’t mean our approach to the game has stayed the same. Here are some intriguing and surprising ways the Game of Kings has changed its shape over the past 150 years. The history of chess dates back 1,500 years, but it wasn’t until the introduction of competitive chess in 1834 that the rules were solidified. Since that time, players of all calibers have diligently worked to find new and better ways of winning.

I’m a programmer. I write games. Games programmers get a lot of respect, but none of them, not me, not Carmak, and not Abrash. None of them deserve the honour which I want to bestow on David Horne. This is because David Horne wrote the greatest program ever written: 1k chess on the ZX81. David Horne is not an urban myth. David Horne achieved what many would even now consider impossible. He wrote a chess game, with AI, that ran on a poorly documented, buggy machine that contained only 1k of memory.

What are the chances of survival of individual chess pieces in average games?

In case anyone’s wondering how I approached this as a programming problem, a quick trick is to not get drawn into writing a whole chessboard representation. Use a tool like pgn-extract to convert SAN moves (e.g. ”Nc3”) to long algebraic moves (e.g. ”Nb1c3”) - since we can safely assume all moves in the PGN are legal, this saves a lot of effort implementing the rules of chess (although you still have to handle castling and en passant carefully). » png-extract » SurvivingPieces
