Wagner James P. Beating Your Friends At Chess

JP Chess, October 16th 2020. — 65 p. — ASIN B08LB5MMFG.You Can Beat Your Friends At ChessFor hundreds of years chess has been a game that has confused, inspired and become the obsessions of many fine minds, geniuses and polymaths. There is just something about the game that almost begs people to devote absurd amounts of their lives to it. Not hard to understand why when you consider the fact that there are more possible combinations in a game of chess than there are atoms in the observable universe.(Yes, that’s an actual fact, it’s called the Shannon Number which estimates the number of combinations in a game of chess to be 10 ^ 123 whereas there are 10 ^ 81 atoms in the observable universe.)So you could literally spend a lifetime, or multiple lifetimes, obsessing over this game, and still barely scratch the surface.
(Encouraging right?) In fact, our strongest computers, which have the combined knowledge of thousands of chess masters and grandmasters both living and from history, that analyze billions of games per second can barely scratch that surface.So what chance do us regular non-superpowered humans have at fully mastering it?You Can Beat Your Friends At Chess
