Hi Charles, Yes! Definitely! Some of the best brains in the world have worked years and years on chess engines. That is because a computer is so totally and completely mindless. All intelligence must be coded into the artificial intelligence of a game, chess engine or what ever. So that

Hi Charles, Well, the type of simple AI I described to Jim Kitchen wouldn't really be appropriate for a chess game. there are far too many factors involved to make it feasable to write the AI that way. There are however more complex types of AI out there which could and should be used in that

In the mid-1990's, IBM developed a chess program call Deep Blue. It beat the world champion chess player Garry Kasparov in a six game match with two winds for Deep Blue, one for Garry, and three draws. There was a bit of a cloud over the incident since Garry accused IBM of cheating and

Hi, Well, every game is different because the person who wrote it may have used different logic in designing the AI, but by and large it is as simple as doing the most logical move for the situation. If it is a game like Chess and it is worth losing a pon to capture a powerful piece like a queen

Hi, Oh, I bet. Computers aren't smart as people are, but they happen to have a life times worth of skill and experience playing chess stored in their AI. Often the are designed by world class Chess players, the strategies, anyway and that makes them an extremely formatable adversary. On 4/4/10,
