“…Ja abans de l'any 1000 era conegut al cor del continent, com testifica el text més antic que es conserva: el poema d'escacs d'Einsiedeln (cf. Gamer, 1954). Sens dubte, els escacs van arribar a Europa a través de diverses rutes: de la regió àrab a la península Ibèrica, així com a Sicília i al sud d'Itàlia (Petzold, 1987: 65ss.).…”

How have northern Catalan writers used references present in the oral tradition (characters, places, themes and motifs) to recreate them and enrich their creative work? We will see, first, the influence of the tales, or what was left of the half-forgotten traditional tales, in the resumption or, properly said, re-elaboration made by poets such as Caseponce, Pons, Cerdà, Brazès, which allowed them to expand their creation rehearsing another literary genre. Then, looking at poetry, we will highlight the forms in which writers such as Pepratx, Bonafont or Berga merge popular poetry with their own poetic imagination.

“…Other techniques like [21] may end up making a different board game thus two games may only be comparable, not the techniques. Having said this, game of chess has a history of 1500 years [34] and monopoly goes back to 1903. It would be more suitable to see the performance of evolved games and the game of chess and checkers using the of individual entertainment metrics (proposed earlier in this paper) as a gauge.…”

Games have always been a popular test bed for artificial intelligence techniques. Game developers are always in constant search for techniques that can automatically create computer games minimizing the developer's task. In this work we present an evolutionary strategy based solution towards the automatic generation of two player board games. To guide the evolutionary process towards games, which are entertaining, we propose a set of metrics. These metrics are based upon different theories of entertainment in computer games. This work also compares the entertainment value of the evolved games with the existing popular board based games. Further to verify the entertainment value of the evolved games with the entertainment value of the human user a human user survey is conducted. In addition to the user survey we check the learnability of the evolved games using an artificial neural network based controller. The proposed metrics and the evolutionary process can be employed for generating new and entertaining board games, provided an initial search space is given to the evolutionary algorithm.

“…Modern chess was unique in that it featured two fundamental traits that were shared by all subsequent chess variants: various pieces had differing capabilities, and success was determined by one piece, the modern chess king. Persia, the Byzantine Empire, and, probably most importantly, the burgeoning Arabian empire all brought a form of chaturanga to Europe (Gamer, 1954). The contemporary rules and look of the pieces evolved through time, with regional variations.…”

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of playing chess on cognitive skills in schools under the chess association of Ampara district. A quantitative research approach was followed to analyze that respective objective under the chess association of Ampara district and identify the strategies chess players and coaches can take to improvise the impact of playing chess among the school students. Thirty students as an experimental group and thirty students as an control group from schools participated in this study. The experimental group underwent a ninety minutes of chess practice three-day per week over three months and the control group student’s regularly attended school activities after class. The experimental group’s performance on the test was not different from the control group’s performance. However, as per the statistical analysis control group, students achieved 50.13 on average while the experimental group students achieved 51.47 on average in the pre-test exam. In the post-test exam control group, students achieved 51.20 on average while in the experimental group students achieved 64.27 as on average. Based on the result there is a significant improvement in the cognitive skills of the experimental group after the chess training (p=0.000) and there is no significant improvement in the cognitive skills in the control group (p=0.174). Which shows the improvement in the cognitive skills of the students who are playing chess compared to the non-playing chess students. Moreover, all chess-related pupils should concentrate on the publicity of chess among the school students and give their full support to the best outcome for chess-playing students for their development of cognitive skills. Hence, the investigator successfully identified the impact of playing chess on the development of cognitive skills in schools under the chess association of Ampara district.
