A Novel Machine Learning Method for Preference Identification
Azlan Iqbal
Human preference or taste within any domain is usually a difficult thing to identify or predict with high probability. In the domain of chess problem composition, the same is true.…
An Algorithm for Automatically Updating a Forsyth-Edwards Notation String Without an Array Board Representation
Azlan Iqbal
We present an algorithm that correctly updates the Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN) chessboard character string after any move is made without the need for an intermediary array repr…
The Effects of Quantum Randomness on a System Exhibiting Computational Creativity
Azlan Iqbal
We present experimental results on the effects of using quantum or 'truly' random numbers, as opposed to pseudorandom numbers, in a system that exhibits computational creativity (g…
Estimating Total Search Space Size for Specific Piece Sets in Chess
Azlan Iqbal
Automatic chess problem or puzzle composition typically involves generating and testing various different positions, sometimes using particular piece sets. Once a position has been…
A Computer Composes A Fabled Problem: Four Knights vs. Queen
Azlan Iqbal
We explain how the prototype automatic chess problem composer, Chesthetica, successfully composed a rare and interesting chess problem using the new Digital Synaptic Neural Substra…
