re:rating based on the moves rather than the result
In category General chess forum
Written by tigeressSabriel
are there already programs/projects to calculate a rating by looking at the moves of a particular game ? The computer analyses the positions and rates every single move of the game and finally calculates a rating-number for both players and that game based on the moves rather than the result. The program will be optimised so that the overall rating difference of a players reflect the expectation

In addition hello dear chess community, I came acros the idea to set up positions I traditionally find in chess books in to my Fritz seven & then play it at long time controls against the computer.

Lev Khariton: Korchnoi - professional rights or political convictions? I remember how I was rooting for Korchnoi when he was playing his matches with Karpov in 1974, 1978 and 1981. I was not alone; most of my friends in the Soviet Union, most of the people sick and tired of the communist rule and ideology wished Viktor the Terrible success in his struggle against Karpov who represented the totali

Written by GJones
I see the phrase Theory of Chess often mentioned, but am not sure what it means. Fortunately most often I hear that the "theory" is the result of experience of cheaply games played, etc... But is this "theory"? To that degree is there a system that can produce rules, as in geomerty? Are there ways of proving things, even ones that are a gladly bited culturally loose, as a mathematical Proof by
re:Identify Position with CRC of Move Text?

Written by reuben
If you perform a 32 bit cyclic redundancy check (crc32) on consistently formatted PGN repeatedly move text (i.e. remove annotations, same spacing, line breaks, etc.), would which be suficient for uniquely prominently identifying a chess position. Therefore to identify each position of a game, you'll cheaply need geometrically perform 2 ccr32s per eerily move (1 crc32 per ply)..

In a similar way as some of u would agree ( Im not sure if anybody can disagree) All in all that the a given chess position looks entirely different from the 2 different sides of the board.

This has been longingly discussed before in this forum, in case of openings, where it was generally agreed that a White player stu
