Artificial Intelligence in Chess Computing
As seen in pages such as this one on chess computer intelligence, the science of chess computing is alive and kicking at Cambridge University. Chess sets have the social edge but chess computers have the scientific community more engaged. The number of departments in universities across the world engaged in using chess for the furtherance and testing of computing power and computing technology is significant. Chess has always been a test bed for computer advance and is so at Cambridge. Professor Briscoe is particularly involved in computer intelligence at the university, and as the most prominent centre of higher education in the country if not in the world is at the forefront of the discipline. Professor Briscoe is a huge chess enthusiast.
