Increasing Efficiency and Quality in the Automatic Composition of Three-Move Mate Problems

Abstract: In this article, we demonstrate the use of composing 'experience' in the form of piece location probability values derived from a database of matein-3 chess problems. This approach was compared against a 'random' one. Comparisons were made using 'experiences' derived from three different databases, i.e. problems by human composers (HC), computer-generated compositions that used the HC experience (CG), and mating 'combinations' taken from tournament games between humans (TG). Each showed a reasonable and statis… Show more

“…As for the 'random' versus 'experience' approaches (see section 3.1), the results suggest that the latter is no worse, aesthetically, than the former but in compositions filtered using fewer conventions, it can be better. This is not inconsistent with previous findings [5].…”

“…However, given that computer-generated compositions were used and an increase of only one convention as a basis of discrimination, we are hesitant to dismiss the findings. On a side note -in relation to an extension of previous research [5] -there was a statistically significant increase in the quality of compositions generated using the 'experience' over 'random' approach for set 1 but not for set 3. For set 2, the decrease was not significant.…”

“…CHESTHETICA, a computer program which incorporates the model, was used to compose, as required, three-move mate problems [10] and also evaluate the aesthetics of such sequences. Computer-generated compositions tend to feature just one forced line and fewer, more easily identifiable conventions.…”

“…CHESTHETICA uses a stochastic approach, i.e. some randomness, in its composing method (Iqbal, 2011). There seemed to be no logical reason why one computer running the program should yield significantly better results than another given the same number of composing 'attempts' so we decided to look into the possible effect of micro-PK.…”
