Quality of these computer generated puzzles

Post by vittyvirus »

These are extracted from World Blitz Chess Championship 2017 from a program I wrote past year during summer.

I'm not an extremely strong chess player, so I'm unsure of the worth of the puzzles that it generates, but I've tried to make them look like if they were picked by humans. My question is, do these puzzles compare to, say, chess.com tactics trainer and other online sites?

This one is nice, it is a mate in 14 with only Kb5 leading to mate.
[d]8/1k6/1P6/2Q5/K1P2q2/8/8/8 w - - 25 98

Code: Select all

  #14 Kb5 Kb8 Ka6 Qf7 Qd5 Qxd5 cxd5 Kc8 d6 Kd7 b7 Kxd6 b8=Q+ Kd5 Qf4 Ke6 Kb7 Kd5 Kb6 Ke6 Kc6 Ke7 Qf5 Ke8 Kd6 Kd8 Qd7#
Nice mate-in-9
[d]3Q4/1p4k1/p1bN1p1p/4q3/4N3/8/5K2/8 w - - 10 1

Code: Select all

  #9 Qc7+ Kh8 Nf7+ Kg8 Nxe5 fxe5 Nd6 Bd7 Qxd7 e4 Nxe4 a5 Nc5 a4 Ne6 a3 Qg7#
Based on a small sample - maybe 15 or so ...Many are very favorable to one side regardless of the move. Those that have one "best" move ( and all other moves draw or lose) are ok for humans - but would be considered easy by many players - may be ok for beginners.

Quite a few are imbalanced. Here is a simple wood count measure of those with an apparent advantage:

Now, a position that is behind and yet wins is actually often more interesting than one that is balanced.
I am running a quick test of your problem set right now.

Colin Frayn also wrote a checkmate generator, where you supply the desired material configuration and it will generate checkmates with that configuration.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

I modified the source to allow deeper mates.

Here is the data as a set of analyzed EPD records. Some have multiple solutions. I guess that all of them will be solved in under a second on decent hardware with a top program (as far as picking the key move goes).
