Совершенствование шахматного образования с помощью интерактивных стратегий обучения: комплексный подход

<p>This study aims to identify the correlation between interactive teaching strategies and chess teaching effectiveness in Armenian primary schools. Traditional chess teaching methods often involve rote memorization and abstract rules, while interactive strategies emphasize active learning and practical application of learned knowledge. The authors advocate the inclusion of interactive methods in chess education, such as heuristic conversation, the use of information and communication technologies, modeling, collaborative learning, problem solving, and reflection. The article examines various empirical studies and theoretical approaches that support the effectiveness of interactive learning strategies in developing critical thinking, active student participation, and knowledge retention. 476 students of 5th grade from 42 schools of Armenia (50,2% male) took part in the study, they had learned chess in previous three years (in 2-4th grade). The study's results demonstrate that all indicators of interactivity, according to students' perceptions, significantly correlated with the results of the chess test. Analysis of the results allows us to confirm the hypothesis about the correlation between interactive learning strategies and the effectiveness of chess learning. We propose reconsidering pedagogical approaches, restructuring curricula, and providing training and professional development opportunities for chess teachers to effectively implement interactive methods in their teaching.</p>

By integrating game theory principles, Planetary Chess presents a unique approach to educational gaming, although it remains in the development stage, potentially impacting learning outcomes and the gaming landscape.

Chess Equilibrium Puzzles

Summary What happens when the only goal in a chess game is to capture at least one piece of the opposite side? Can both sides live peacefully in an equilibrium where neither can capture the other’s pieces? In this short paper, we develop a new set of puzzles which we call chess equilibrium puzzles on this premise. We explain the rules of the game, analyze puzzles that have obvious and generalizable solutions, and provide several interesting puzzles for the reader to solve (solutions are provided at the end). Our puzzles provide an exciting twist to the realm of traditional chess puzzles.

Tree Search Algorithms For Chinese Chess

Computer Games are an important aspect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which has produced many representative algorithms of optimal strategies. Therefore, many AI researchers have applied game theory to various board games in an attempt to find the essence of games and grasp the core of AI behaviour. AlphaGo is a very famous and typical chess-playing program that uses Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) to estimate the value of each node in the search tree and optimize the possible results. Chinese chess is one of the traditional chess versions with its typical strategy. However, due to its late start and high complexity, there are many more technical problems to be solved. In this paper, we recommend two commonly used search frameworks for Chinese chess: the minimax algorithm and the alpha-beta pruning algorithm. On this basis, to deal with the complex and changeable situation, the Chinese chess algorithm based on Monte Carlo tree search and appropriate neural network evaluation function is studied.

Difficult Points of Chess Metaphor in the Theoretical Questions of Language and Mind

This review article reveals the structural components of the chess metaphor, which represent in an unusual perspective the properties of a linguistic sign and its connection with mental processes. Strict rule-following and the conventionality of the material plane of expression turn chess into a convenient illustration of a universal linguistic structure. Particular attention is paid to the computer profile of the chess metaphor, since it reflects a whole complex of philosophical problems of computer science about mind, thinking and intelligence. In the proposed paper, the presentation of most of the material is based on the works of F. de Saussure, L. Hjelmslev, L. Wittgenstein and their interpreters, in whose texts an obvious important place is occupied by chess analogies and theoretical conclusions initiated by them. First we investigate chess metaphor in the context of language and speech structures. Next, we analyze the "chess track" in the problem of individual language and the rule-following problem. The final part is devoted to the technical elements of computer chess and the influence of this area of computer science on some of the points of cognitive theories of language and mind. The author of the article emphasizes a nontrivial transformation of the conceptual content of the chess metaphor, which indicates the evolution of computational tendencies in modern theories about language and mind. The article substantiates the thesis that the traditional chess metaphor used in the XX century in the philosophical investigation of language and mind, today it takes on a realization in the framework of computer models of the chess game. Machine deep learning can significantly expand the horizon of computability. Game interaction makes it possible to ascribe the elements of intentional content to machine functions. Nevertheless, all the argumentation in the work is aimed at proving that the rules governing language and mind are rules different from the rules of computer intelligence.

Чисельне моделювання теплообмінного апарата для різних систем вентиляції

The purpose of the research is to develop and numerical modeling of the shell-tube heat exchanger of a new design as an element of the microclimate maintenance system for various types of ventilation systems in the summer season. Materials and methods of research. As mentioned above, two types of ventilation systems are considered - tunnel and lateral. For these ventilation systems TA is projected. The poultry house is a traditional type. At the side walls there are openings with jackets in the total number of 80 pieces. with dimensions 0,3×0,85 m. And also on the front end walls are located evacuation cooling tapes with dimensions of 5,1×1,1 m. In place of the cassettes and louver we fit the HE. Consider the shell and tube heat exchanger with a shell of a rectangular cross section in the transverse flow of pipe beams. The geometry of the pipes with diameters d = 10 mm is peculiar, which differs from the traditional chess, corridor and compact beams. Neighboring pipes in such close beams are displaced one relative to the other at a distance of 1 mm. Moreover, we consider two types of beam construction, in which there is a displacement of pipes in a transverse direction along the entire length of the tube beam by 15 mm. All calculations are performed at a volume flow of air 1036 thousand m3/h. As a coolant air is selected with a temperature of +40 o С at the inlet, which flows in the channels for cooling the external heated air in the poultry house in the summer period of the year, where as the cooler is used water underground wells. In the soybean, cold water moving inside the pipes, which has an inlet temperature of +10 o C. The layout of the heat carrier movement is cross-linked. Research results and their discussion. The temperature change for different ventilation systems. For tunnel ventilation, the temperature in the TA decreases from +40 to +22.5 o C (Fig. 2), and for the side - from +40 to +19,7 o С. Conclusions and perspectives. 1. A new design of a shell-tube heat exchanger with a compact arrangement of pipes in tubular beams is proposed and developed. 2. Computer-aided mathematical modeling of heat and mass transfer processes in bundles of pipes of different geometries with compact placement of pipes using the software ANSYS Fluent. The fields of velocities, temperatures, and pressure in the studied channels are obtained. The conditions of the hydrodynamic flow in the channels were analyzed and estimates of the heat transfer intensity between the hot and cold coolant through the wall separating them. 3. It was determined that the tunnel ventilation system would be most effective and TA was designed for it.

Cold War Nostalgia in The Game

This article explores how nostalgia for both the Cold War and the 1970s in general became a key feature of the BBC drama The Game (2014). It argues that the serial situated the Cold War as a more stable era in international relations in which the enemy played by a specific set of rules, thus leading to a danger that was manageable and more predictable than the terror threat of the twenty-first century. Furthermore, the article argues that the serial presents the 1970s as a golden age which was defined by the continuity of consensus politics and communities of class and family. Finally, the article examines how this nostalgia is reinforced by narrative devices which engage with generic features such as the storyline playing out like a game. However, in the re-imagined Cold War of the twenty-first century, the traditional chess trope has been replaced by the more complex game of Alice Chess.

Parallel excitation for B-field insensitive fat-saturation preparation.

Multichannel transmission has the potential to improve many aspects of MRI through a new paradigm in excitation. In this study, multichannel transmission is used to address the effects that variations in B(0) homogeneity have on fat-saturation preparation through the use of the frequency, phase, and amplitude degrees of freedom afforded by independent transmission channels. B(1) homogeneity is intrinsically included via use of coil sensitivities in calculations. A new method, parallel excitation for B-field insensitive fat-saturation preparation, can achieve fat saturation in 89% of voxels with M(z) ≤ 0.1 in the presence of ± 4 ppm B(0) variation, where traditional CHESS methods achieve only 40% in the same conditions. While there has been much progress to apply multichannel transmission at high field strengths, particular focus is given here to application of these methods at 1.5 T.
