In this contribution they are used as a framework for the history of computer chess. The natural line of reasoning will then bring us to main question: Will the game of Chess (soon) be Solved? A positive answer will certainly be seen as a stepping stone for the next question: Can a computer play perfect chess? Of course, this question will have a natural follow-up in the form of an even more challenging question: Is perfect thinking by a computer possible? The audacious answer “yes” will lead to the world-wide prevailing question of all current AI scientists: Will our intelligence be replaced by AI? The article finds its way (not discussed by us) via machine learning and autonomous adaptation to deep learning and thereafter via Explainable AI and Interpretable AI to solving the Game of Chess. Cornerstones of this historical development will be given in the next three articles by Richard Pijl, Dap Hartmann and Jon Edwards.","PeriodicalId":50395,"journal":{"name":"Icga Journal","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138529035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of the study demonstrate that the HLTV ranking system has a reasonable level of explanatory power in predicting the outcomes of CS:GO matches. Furthermore, the study reveals that the difference in abilities between two consecutively ranked players decreases as their ranking in CS:GO gets lower, similar to tennis rankings, resulting in a pyramid-like structure. As a result, spectators, sponsors, and bettors can rely on the information provided by the ranking system to make informed decisions and enhance their viewing experience during tournaments.","PeriodicalId":50395,"journal":{"name":"Icga Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135569759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
