Hi,
Very random. But I got thinking on the question on the Markov Chain, and why Chess doesn't fall within its theory - and I realised that in the case of two moves in Chess, the Markov Chain doesn't hold - first, in castling, because the move depends on whether the king was moved or not. And second, en passant, where the move depends on what the immediately preceding move was.
Ravi looked quite surprised when he heard the answer, and so was I. Which is why I gave it some thought.
Right you are, young padawan. Your mental faculties are most impressive.
Psssst....Ludwig is not all that wise for the years that he has got behind him ;)
Nitish, you're bang on the money about the wisdom and years uncorrelation!
aandthirtyeights is very correct about castling and en passant. It took an IIT-M CS guy to explain the funda fully to me, but then refer to previous point about age and wisdom.
But he also said that there are a host of correct answers to the Markov Chain game question. "Go" for example is one such, as is checkers apparently. And there could be more.
