Formally Verified Chess Endgames

On May 10 Joe Hurd gave a guest lecture at Portland State University, as part of Bart Massey's Computer Science course on Combinatorial Games. The topic of the guest lecture was "Formally Verified Endgame Tables", and Joe showed how Formal Methods can be used to prove that endgame tables used by computer chess programs are correct with respect to the laws of chess. The slides of the guest lecture are available for download.

Great work! This is very useful concept for students. They can learn something new from this concept. I like this concept.

The slides are just amazing! They are truly relevant to my study at this moment so they helped me to write my essay for my class!

The idea behind this article is excellent, and for me the first item ("Create your own damn content!") is the real gem here: most of the people spend their entire lives only consuming what is created by others, and creating nothing themselves--or never sharing what they create, which is better than not creating at all, though not the best they could do.
