Download or read book Hashi written by Alastair Chisholm and published by Crombie Jardine. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hashi (short for Hashiwokakero, meaning "build bridges") is a new logic puzzle from Japan. In Hashi, the goal is to join islands together with up to two vertical or horizontal bridges, so that every island is connected. The larger in number value the island, the more bridges connect to it (an island of size 6 must be connected to 6 bridges), and no bridge can cross another. Successful logic puzzles have certain things in common: a unique game with one solution, easy to pick up, fun and challenging, able to be put down and picked back up again. Hashi has all these qualities, and puzzle master Alastair Chisholm has created 201 puzzles in three levels of difficulty--Easy, Medium, and Hard; you'll be thinking about them even when you're not working on them.

Download or read book Beautiful Mates written by Ben P. Walls and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 1997-10 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A synopsis of eminent computer chess programs reveal that they are designed around a 'brute force' approach. An argument is made that by continuing the 'brute force' search approach, computer chess development is moving away from human evaluation methods. Research is done into studies of evaluation methods, and a discovery is made that humans use a form of intuition, called their 'sense of beauty', to choose the best chess move. A paper by Margulies is cited which formulates principles of beauty which apply to chess. Three versions of a chess program are developed, using no heuristics, standard chess heuristics, and beauty heuristics formulated from Margulies principles. The performance of the three versions of the program are compared using chess puzzles, and rated for how quickly they find the solution, and how few nodes they evaluate. Graphs are produced from the results of these tests, showing that beauty heuristics are, on average, 15% faster at finding the solution, and evaluate 10% fewer nodes. An improvement is implemented in all versions of the program which biases the search towards better moves, resulting in the beauty heuristics success rising to an average of 25% faster to the solution, and evaluating 33% fewer nodes, than the other heuristics. It is concluded that the beauty heuristics are closer to the way that humans evaluate chess positions.
