Chess and Computers

            Chess is a very versatile game that can be related to or compared with many other things. 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. Human chess players use their skills, judgment and previous experiences to decide about the moves they are going to make. .
             Many chess computers can play at high levels due to fast calculations, but at this speed the computer has an advantage over human chess player because human brain cannot perform calculations at the speed a computer can. Despite this all, a human chess player can also have the advantage of thought and the abilities, which he had gained from his previous experience. If a human chess player made some unusual chess moves, which computer cannot predict because all computer intelligence is based on algorithms and any .
             unusual move can throw computer off guard and that gives the human chess player advantage over the computer in the chess game. So the question here is, "Is the artificial intelligence is at level of human intelligence or not?".
             According to Boden, "The human brain is the most complex part of the human body if not the most complex subject known to human kind. Although a computer may work on a complicated series of circuits and processors it is a relatively simple item to .
             understand in comparison to the human brain.
