Chess moves and their memomics - Ivan Pope




Ivan Pope sent a link through to Chess moves and their memomics: a framework for the evolutionary processes of chess openings, by de Sousa, J. D. (2002)*.

With Electric Hands' post about Open Source Collaborative Art Process this reinforces the case for creating a proper platform for participatory and collaborative work on the project.

It suggests that the involvement, attention and resultant behaviour of many people focussed on a project lead, to the evolution of new behaviour, learned by examples.

Ivan made this selection from the text which correlates strength and competitive play with health....A new angle!

6. Chess organisms: basic analogies with living organisms

Patterns of good and bad health - the concept of "weakness" pervades chess literature (see, for example, Capablanca 1952; Kotov 1982; Karpov 1988). Pawns are often weak, or their structural formations are weak. Undefended squares near one's king are often considered "holes", potential sources of danger. Knowledge of the immense array of different kinds of weaknesses, and how to exploit them in the opponent's position, is a decisive component of a player's expertise. Examples of healthy and unhealthy formations are in figure 5. *Journal of Memetics - Evolutionary Models of Information Transmission, 6.
