YechielMan 15:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC) In The Computer Chess Compendium by David Levy there is an article Chess by Alan M. ZeroOne ( talk | 23:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC) I'll try to check 'How Computers Play Chess' for the dates. I think one of the articles needs to be corrected. However, the Los Alamos chess article says that it was written in 1956 and ' was the first chess-like game played by a computer program.' Now, I think there's a contradiction between these two pieces of information.

This article says: ' In 1951, Alan Turing designed a primitive chess playing program, which assigned values for material and mobility the program 'played' chess based on Turing's manual calculations'.

The article is interesting to read and has a lot of information, but needs better sourcing to pass. Look throughout the article and if there is any statement that somebody may question if it's verifiable add an inline citation. The formatting of the inline citations need to be fixed, and more importantly, more need to be added. This article has been failed according to the GA criteria. Anyway this article is mostly about the concept of tablebases, without focusing on individual variants of product. If that's what you mean by 'Shredderbases', then we've got it covered. There is an external link to a web server which uses Shredder's tablebases.Should the Shredderbases be explained in this article or seperately? └ VodkaJazz / talk ┐ 17:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC) My source had KRBKNN for Amelung, but the length record for 6 men was KRNKNN. The KRNKNN ending was intended all along. ScottRShannon 01:49, 27 September 2006 (UTC) As I don't know which is correct I'll leave it to someone else to edit or change the diagram. The text gives a 262 move mate quoting a KRBKNN ending, but the diagram is KRNKNN. It uses a different compression that drastically reduces the size. YechielMan 04:20, 6 February 2007 (UTC) Now thanks to Syzygy, they're only 140gb. In special cases like KNNNNK this makes some sense, but even then, KNNNK is generally a win. they are not needed, but some folks on the CCRL forum want to construct them anyway. Bubba73 (talk), 14:42, 2 August 2006 (UTC) They are complete. Someone (maybe you) put in that they are 1.2 terabytes in size. There are complete since quite some time, but not completely available for the public. Can anyone verify that? Bubba73 (talk), 18:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC) Best regards, YechielMan 06:09, 11 February 2007 (UTC) six-piece tablebase complete? įrom what I understand, the six-piece tablebases are not complete yet.

I simply don't know how to do this correctly. If you put 'citation needed' tags in some places, I should be able to find the citations. Every statement I've made in the article comes from somewhere I just haven't put in all the references because I was writing somewhat off-the-cuff. I've tried to avoid this, but inevitably, in an arcane topic such as this, there will be parts you don't fully understand. I would like to anticipate 3 issues you might have with this article. 74.194.27.5 ( talk) 04:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC) A note to reviewers from the Good Article committee Īlthough many users have contributed to this article, I am responsible for most of its content, and I am probably the most expert Wikipedian on this subject. There is not another option, unless that option is magic! The other option is that it has not been done, but I am assuming the article is claiming that tablebases with this much power have been done. I am not sure I am understanding the statement that something that has been done is 'beyond the horizon of humans or computers' If it has been done then it has been done by a human or a computer (and abstractly speaking a human is a computer as well).
