Chess and Computers

Chess is a very versatile game that can be related to or compared with many other things. Such as philosophy, war, film, etc. But the topic that I have chosen to research on is “chess and computers”. Since the birth of the technology i.e. Computer, chess players are being compared to artificial intelligence. Researchers are trying to find out who can play better chess. Humans or Artificial Intelligence.

At present computers can only use the intelligence that is load in it. But it can have many more moves than human chess player can think. Such as computer chess program “Deep Blue”, which has beaten few chess grand masters. However, when computer plays chess, it does not think about the move it makes but performs a series of calculations to make the right move. This all based on the positions of the pieces on the board.

understand in comparison to the human brain. So many important functions of the brain is beyond our understanding and has un-quantifiable properties”. So if the human brain is more complex than artificial intelligence than how come the chess grand masters lost to “Deep Blue”.

So who is better in chess? Computer or Human. It is hard to talk about it. A computer is capable of beating one of the chess grand masters if both of them play regular position chess. But on the other hand, chess grand masters have beaten the best computer chess program by playing an unusual move. It is just hard to figure it out. When computer can calculate upto four millions moves per second and the best human player is only capable of thinking three moves in a second. Then how come, Computer is not winning every single chess game when it play against the human. It is because computer moves are based on algorithm. And if human chess players are capable of disturbing its algorithm and throwing computer off guard, the how come human chess players are
