Recently there have been headlines along the lines of "A
Machine Composes Problems". The question I am interested in here however is
a bit different - with so many chess problems and studies having been composed
over the last two three hundred years, it would be curious to test their
correctness in a fashion as automatic as possible.
The test would have to check
both that the problem is correct, and that the problem one and only one
solution. Loading a position into Fritz is obviously going to show that, but how
would one automatically run a test on the entire database of checkmate problems/studies/tactical solutions?
Has anyone heard of such an initiative and whether this has been ever
done either by chess composers or engine authors?
I would imagine those two categories of people are probably quite interested
in doing something like this.
An unexamined life is not worth living.
