Million Mate Madness

Post by Dann Corbit »

There are more than one million verified checkmates in this file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2gd72g3xrr36n ... at.7z?dl=0

Specifically, there are 1,112,569 checkmates between mate in 1 and mate in 8.

Each checkmate has been verified by Chest319 (so brute force, no shortcuts).

If you like solving chess puzzles or are otherwise deranged, you might enjoy it.

The file contains the positions which are annotated with the solutions.

Here are the first ten positions from the file:
rrrr3k/5ppp/8/4R3/4R3/4R3/4RPPP/4R2K w - - acn 244855; acs 0; bm Re8+; ce 32758; dm 5; pv Re8+ Rxe8 Rxe8+ Rxe8 Rxe8+ Rxe8 Rxe8+ Rxe8 Rxe8#;

From time to time, I will add to the collection.

Thanks a lot, Dann.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Hi Dann,

do you checked all the mates really with Chest 319 only or do you try out other engines too? If so, do you prefers engine for the mate search 1-8 moves? Which engines you prefers?

Many chess engine can't produce the correct way to mate (Mate in 8, one move later ... Mate in 6, one move later Mate in 4 for an example).

WOW, have a lot of thanks!

I know that ChessAssistant produced such CDs with mate positions for "mate Training". But easy mates only you can find in the collection by Convekta and not such a big database you public now.

Thanks again!
Good idea!

Maybe such a work should be sorted ...
Database with Mate in 1, other database with Mate in 2 ... and more as Mate in 8 later.

Very, very nice idea you have here!

Best
Frank

The mates were initially found with various different chess engines, along with Chest for some of them.

Sometimes, the engines get a wrong solution (both too many moves to find the mate and even too few moves).

So I validated them with Chest.

I have a lot more deeper checkmates, but it takes a long time to prove them with Chest.

Since the mate puzzles have the depth to mate stored in them, it is easy to group them by depth.

I have them stored in a database, so I can query on them by any criteria I choose.

Re: Important for programmers too ...

Post by Frank Quisinsky »

OK!

You know that this material could be nice for each programmer. Can be sorted with tools ...

Example:
3-10 pieces on board
10-16 pieces on board

After this one programmer can use your work and have a chance for a good test with the own engine and the correct way to mate ... with different quantity of pieces on the board.

Important work because it's one of the main problems today. Most programmer using for own eng-eng matches resign=on and can't see the problems with time loses before mate or the wrong way to mate.

Chest is really a great work!

Thank you for sharing.
It would be great also if you can supply the bestmove in long algebraic notation (LAN) via comment.
From,
rrrr3k/5ppp/8/4R3/4R3/4R3/4RPPP/4R2K w - - acn 244855; acs 0; bm Re8+; ce 32758; dm 5; pv Re8+ Rxe8 Rxe8+ Rxe8 Rxe8+ Rxe8 Rxe8+ Rxe8 Rxe8#;
To,
rrrr3k/5ppp/8/4R3/4R3/4R3/4RPPP/4R2K w - - acn 244855; acs 0; bm Re8+; ce 32758; dm 5; pv Re8+ Rxe8 Rxe8+ Rxe8 Rxe8+ Rxe8 Rxe8+ Rxe8 Rxe8#; c0 "e5e1"
It would be easy to create a script and run some engines by looking at its bestmove output which uci engines (for example) will send in LAN.

Your epd has a dm info, and some uci engines are able to send "score mate 5" which is one the standards in uci for sending huge score, the script can also compare distance to mate in this case.

Another method of evaluating solution is by looking at the output of the engine, again it would be good also if you can supply via Opcode v0 for example the pv but in LAN, like the following.
...; v0 "e5e8 d8e8 e4e8 c8e8 e3e8 b8e8 e2e8 a8e8 e1e8"
The script will compare the uci engine output with the v0 value.

Example uci engine analysis session.

I use JetChess 1.0.0.0 perft counter to give an idea of the tree size of the original position (before playing 1.- Qdxe6):

Code: Select all

1qbqkbq1/QBRNBNQ1/1QnQpQn1/1q1RQ1p1/3rn3/2Q2Q2/Q6K/1r4r1 w - - 0 1

perft(1) =              99
perft(2) =           6,722
perft(3) =         602,875
perft(4) =      39,177,153
perft(5) =   3,545,566,008
perft(6) = 222,775,664,191

--------------------------

Unique positions:

positions(1) =          99
positions(2) =       6,722
positions(3) =     338,423
positions(4) =  13,324,447
positions(5) = 434,616,831
