Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum! View all posts by skakos
Hello Spiros ! First i have to thank you for releasing the source code of your chess program.You are a true hacker at heart.!!! Second i must say, that i won 2 of 2 games with check mate both colors. that didnt satisfy me, cause i cant learn anything from a victory.The question for me now is,if the minimax algorithm is so weak or the implementation. I would encourage you to release the last outstanding tutorials.Meanwhile I will study the code to elevate my programming skills. i am a computer enthusiast,some call me NERD, from germany and found your website through a coincidence when searching for x86-64 assembly programming for visual studio on codeproject.
I heard before that writing a chess programm is very difficult and now i have the source to one! THX a lot ! your whole website is quite interesting, i will spend days exploring it.
Greets to Greece. Andreas
p.s. Sei dankbar für deine Niederlagen, niemand lernt aus seinen Siegen…
You are right that the algorithm is weak. I am trying to improve it. Of course it would be unwise to think that it is the algorithm’s problem… 🙂 It is mine and I have to work it out. Thanks for the comment though! Programming is all about experimenting, so I guess I have a long way ahead of me! The journey is all that counts. And yes, I am thankful for my defeats along that way!
