Below I have attempted to provide a few of the strategic axioms of chess (il)logic. I wonder whether the computers are attempting to read and understand, or if they still even rely on their human masters to do so little as to even attempt to update their books as new opening improvements or refutations come in. Perhaps these are areas where our silicone friends can spend some time on!? As for our human friends, does my arithmetic and logic work out, or are these examples really the exception, rather than the norm, to the general principle?

<under construction> This would currently have to be constructed for (perhaps team club games of) different years, mainly of the 1880s-1930s period. It looks like the cities are not far enough away that the matches might not have been played by correspondence at all times, and that they instead met at one club or another for the game sessions. The Philadelphia and New York clubs were likely two of the main centres for playing the games. The Steinitz - Lasker World Championship Match (1894) and Lasker - Marshall World Championship Match (1907) were matches (the first began in March; 2nd in January), contested in both cities, and probably had a number of backers from their respective clubs. Matches played in their respective city around that time are listed below: table[ New York city Philadelphia

Some simuls were hosted by famous players (for instance, Lasker (whose tours included J M Hanham vs Lasker, 1901 (kibitz #2) (Manhattan, late April through early May), Lasker vs W P Shipley, 1901 (kibitz #4) (May 17th, Philadelphia), Lasker vs St. E M Sala, 1901 (kibitz #75) (May 23rd, Davenport), Lasker vs H Bruening, 1901 (Milwaukee, May 24th), Lasker vs E B Adams, 1901 (Baltimore, May 30th), Lasker vs A Y Hesse, 1901 (<back?!> to Pittsburgh, early June) around this time) Capablanca, etc) at either clubs throughout the period were: Lasker vs W P Shipley, 1901 , Lasker vs J Smythe, 1901 , Lasker vs F O Ballard, 1901 , etc (meanwhile, would any Manhattan vs Franklin club match have occurred this May, and was there any sort of historical reason amongst the 2 clubs that one would choose to host a simul versus the champion, and another to not use such a format)? Lasker returned to NYC and Philadelphia next autumn before venturing further westerly into some United States cities such as St. Louis, Chicago, San Francisco, etc after Hallowe'en. Lasker vs W P Shipley, 1910 and Lasker vs S Mlotkowski, 1910 could have been an April (Franklin club) simul as well as Capablanca vs L K Franklyn, 1910 (a possible February Manhattan club) simul before the traditional May match-up of the city teams. Pillsbury vs S Mlotkowski, 1901 could have been an October Franklin club simul. See also: (1) http://www.chessarch.com/excavation... (a report of one of the first ever meetings of players of the respective clubs), (2) http://www.chessarch.com/excavation... (1896 tournament report - see NY Sun, NY Evening post reports, etc), (3) http://www.chessarch.com/excavation... (NY Evening Post reports that this 1897 event was the <<3rd> annual> - so expecting a normal occurrence around the end of May or start of June; until this point in the 14-player/side match, the Franklin club won 7½-6½ in 1895, but lost by the same score in the 2nd annual 1896 tournament), (4) Game Collection: US Open Tournament Index (has a number of indexed collections which are not yet presented for tid nomination of some NYC or Philadelphia events). ----------

89 games, 1880-1926 - International Pad. computer chess championship
|
<under construction> Held at the University of Paderborn from December 27th until the 30th in 2005. 7 rounds x 12 players (but one player was disqualified after the tournament due to a dispute), or about 42 games altogether. Included in the collection are the cancelled games, and a cross-table is provided below in the external reading links. Rybka (Computer) scored 5.5/7, but its scores were not counted towards a win of a tournament by the Organizers because of allegations of breaking the tournament regulations, which had been disputed in courts. <This collection makes no attempt at trying to decide who actually should have won, nor which games, if any, should have been cancelled (or included, such as the one in the collection). Readers may wish to draw their own conclusions by examining these and other external links themselves.> [For further reading, see: (1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern... , (2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rybka , (3) http://www.uni-paderborn.de/en/ , (4) https://chessprogramming.wikispaces... ]

World (women's) Junior (2003) <a project for someone wishing to start a collection> and World Junior Championship (Girls) (2002) have been the modern-day events of the (women's) section. The tournament was a single round-robin that was held at Toronto, Canada between August [(1)] 3rd through 16th. Jongsma had some difficulties between rounds 3-5, and Gerusel also performed well, but a perfect stellar streak by Lombardy did not allow for too many chances of any contenders battling for 2nd place to catch up to him. It appears that the other 42 (of 66 total) games may not exist in the databases (or can they be found anywhere?). table[

24 games, 1957 - Krush - Abrahamyan (play-off), US Women's Champ
2 games, 2014 - St. Petersburg - Savorin cup
|
In 1913, Capablanca visited the country to play a series of exhibition knock-out matches against his three adversaries. The conditions to win the gold cup presented by Monsieur Savorin were that Capablanca would win the Savorin Cup (1913) if he did not lose any game of a match against each of the three others. Otherwise, the trophy would be awarded to the opponent with the best score against him: Eugene Znosko-Borovsky was declared the winner after he tied his match 1-1 and also won the stakes' side-pot [(1)]. [References: (1) TheFocus offers further details in the explanation to his collection summary for this cup-tournament, but presents it as a series of 3 mini-matches against the separate players in 3 different collections.]
