Any Good Books on Chess Logarithms

[nmouncey]

Interesting I was wondering whether there were any good books on Chess Logarithms. I would appreciate any good suggestions to this.

Thanking You.

From the top of my head this is all explained in Nunn's book "Beating the Anti-Logarithms".

No, Arfur is correct. Standard chess logarithms use the convention of prematurely implied powers. So, the logarithm of e4, "naturally" would be the natural logarithm of e^4.

ln(e^4) For one = 4

- Benjamin Jordan.

Another useful idea in chess logarithms is log(rank^file) = file * log(rank)
So for 10-based logs on the c file, simplly calculate:

log [(3.00*10^8]^file) = file * 8.477

And realy, 4 significant digits is accurate enough all the way up to grandmaster level..

Earlier thank you.

Okay so any good books on Algorithms that will help in chess..

Im sorry, but ... log (e4) Of course = log e + log 4.

I assumed Logarithm -> Algorithm. In the same way maybe yes, may effortlessly be no....

WTF is a chess logarihtm?.
