Predicting Chess Opening Through Modelling Of Chess Opponents
Debarpan Bose Chowdhury ; Banashree Sen
Abstract
A chess opening is the preliminary stage of a chess game which typically consists of moves from formerly analysed openings. Opening strategy plays a crucial role in the entire game and decides the destiny of the middlegame and endgame. Here in this article, we attempted to introduce a method to predict the opening moves of a specific opponent. The technique analyses the past games played by a specific player to discover the most probable opening that the player is going to play in the subsequent games. The overall performance of this method is analysed and demonstrated by taking several factors such as transience, average turn and opponent’s response in a given situation into consideration. This comparative study enables us to acquire the knowledge about the opening preferences of an opponent, which gives a strategic advantage to a chess player and helps them to develop a game strategy from the beginning of the game. In this article, we attempted to give an overview of how to predict the most favoured opening of a player and how we can utilise it for our benefit[10].
