Go up one level in this thread


That is correct, I try to prove the comdinatorics used to asses the possible
nuber of positions is overestimating the positions, not by using combinatorical
techniques but compression and codes. Thus lowering the amount of bits needed.
This problem I feel is the 'Fermats Last Theorem' of computer chess.

I know its impossible to enumerate N different states with less than log2(N)
bits. Kinda basic, isnt it?
