Entertainment Chess Board Representation

One of the deciding factors in the structure of a board game program is the representation of the board . In Chess AI, the representation of the board has differed quite a lot from program to program, and over time new systems have been invented.

The first system, and the one that may be thought of as the simplest in concept, is just an 8 x 8 matrix that can hold one value per square : 0 if there the square is empty, 1 if there is a white pawn, 2 if there is a white knight, -1 if there is a black pawn, etc.

This concept is really quite easy, because it just requires a matrix and some constants. However, it can become difficult to compute the possible moves on the board, because the computer must check the bounds and the locations of the pieces over and over. So, the program will cycle through the board perhaps 20-30 times per turn.

Another representation method tries to help the computation of moves by combining the normal move generator and the bounds checking mechanism. The hardest moves to compute are those of the knight, for it can leap over and around other pieces, and the moves are not in a straight line or diagonal like all of the other pieces. Also, the knight can jump far outside the board, and it is difficult to compute an illegal move for the knight.
