CHESS/ALGEBRA

Chess uses a grid simular to a cartisian algebraic graph,having both an x,y axis ,my question: is there an equation that i could use for solving chessgames?

Holy crap, that is one complicated question.

I am the lowest of low when it comes to knowing/understanding math equations and algebra(probably even spelled it wrong) but I can put a hurting on most anyone I know in chess..I belive it's chess skill and mind patience that causes me to beat the pants off of everyone I've ver played..heh! Or it might be that they are all 10 years old and below

Yeah, im running like 80% in the win column with chess......in the under 10 age group.

i dont think you can beat me magestica,lest play ,do you have a yahoo account?

Yes, this should be possible.

It would take a current position (x,y) for each piece on the board and the equation of potential move for each piece on the board. With the King's current x,y position and his moves available, it would be a matter of solving each equation for each of the other pieces on the board and then doing a comparison of the new x,y after each of the King's possible moves to see if one of these moves made a unique x,y that none of the opposing pieces could possess on their next move.

Of course, this has been done, along with analysis to find the best move taking into account the matrix of possible moves of all pieces...with Big Blue.

No I haven't one..but lucky for me, it's easy to get one So what you doin later?? I haven't the control right now, but tonight I might..

Send me a u2u with the particulars of contact and I'll contemplate the thought

Yup...deep blue was good. I don't think you could do it yourself though, it would be very complicated.

No!

If you are in checkmate by definition you can not solve it.

CAN WE PLAY CHESS HERE ,buy simply posting our moves,and them making the moves on our personal board,the x axis on the board would be the varibals a thru g,and y would be 1 thru 8,we would call out our moves in algebraic form,like" pawn e2 moves to e4",lets try it

Yes, you can solve it JB1. It is the point where where the position of the King plus any available move does not provide a unique value compared to all the other pieces' positions plus any available moves for them.

This is a solvable situation.

He didn't ask can you calculate your way out of checkmate, he asked if the situation of checkmate could be determined via equations. And it can.

nope, I think not.

But if someday someone find it this will be the nd of chessgame.

He/she is banned now..oh well and thus are reasons NOT to give out ID's and emails and IM's etc..ohh well, I still would have won with or without equations

I looked earlier and found a few people interested in chess.

Then what happened? More puerile hack attempts, or something more sinister?

Righto magestica, you're on... here and now... (BTW I am going to let you win a close game)...

1. e4

You will always be ahead.

1. b4

Why did he get banned ?!

I have to go to tennis. I can manage about two moves per day.

Thankyou to my worthy "opponent" and ATS companion for graciously accepting this challenge.

Hey! What happened to the little chess-dude?

Why did he get banned?

Hmm, chess.

I'll take ya'lll all on!!!!

Several people have commented about this person getting banned and yet we all remain clueless (see if I ever start a thread about chess/algebra in capital letters. magestica
