The Wingham Advance-Times, 1975-05-22, Page 20Y 1975- HESS POINTS mputer made norpry member is the be.5t chess Player? Mac Hack VI won a •443115.10)trepby in a local tour- - tkluDelt, and was promptly Warded an honorary mem- hershili:ia the united states Mess Federation. Since this Is an honor not often bestowed on the highest rated players, some dues - paying members might have questioned the Federation's action. In this instance, how- ever, no one complained. Mac Hack VI is a computer pro- gram that plays chess. Mac Hack VI was de- veloped by Richard Green- blatt and others in 1966 in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of Project MAC at the Massachusetts % Insti- tute of Technology. It is one of many chess -playing com- puter programs that have been developed in the last 25 years. Why would major research organizations become in- volved in developing chess - playing computer programs? One. of the techniques re- searchers use to solve • their more complex problems is to buildmodels of the problems. With a model, they can test a large number of alternative •solutions, and eventually , select the best alternative. Apart from the intellectual delights it affords the play- ers, the game of chess also happens to be a precisely de- veloped model that is repre- sentative of many of man's more difficult decision- making activities. Let's take an example. The President of a company that manufactures and sells widgets is considering the possibility of opening a new teffitory. (Should he move his KB to N5?) Sales in his • existing teriitories have been .sluggish and competition from a rival widget -maker has been strong. His present • attacking position has been • stymied and he must seek a new attack.) • The president must - evaluate the competition he la Vailleetin the, tie* Whited% (L the KB SitimLtoslog at N5?) He s must also examine the demand for hia product in the new territory. (Does the N5 position for the KB offer possibilities for opening a new attack on the opponent's King?). By moving part of his sales forge into the new territory, will he weaken the sales form in existing territories and al- low his competitor to gain a stronger hold? (What attack- ing possibilities does his op- ponent have with the KB in its new position?) There IS a great similarity between the decisions a chess player makes and those made by leaders in business, sci- ence and government. With the large, Incredibly fast computers of the present day, will we be able to program the perfect chess player, the perfect decision maker? We may be able to some day, but that day will likely be far in the future. • , Game of the Week. Since 1970, at its annual confer- ences, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has sponsored chess tournaments for computer programs. At Atlanta, Georgia, in 1973, 12 programs Competed in a four round Swiss System tournament won by "Chess 4.0," written at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill. This week's game was annotated by David Levy in the December, 1973 Chess Life and Review. It is between the Tournament winner, "Chess 4.0" and a program named' A "Chaos."

GORDON GREEN I have been complaining rather bitterly of late about the profes- sional change -makers that our governments seem to be hiring in ever increasing numbers these days. The restless bureaucrats who are forever revising ttax forms for. instance. The people who suddenly decide that the numbers on our highways must all be changed, now that we've all become familiar with them. The people who, take it upon them- selves to exterminate local school boards and put in their place supet duper district boards that are as far away as God and almost as powerful. - The prime example • at the moment of our restless bureau- cracy at work is of course the proposed metrification program. But this incessant plystnt of change just to be different is not confined to those employees ot.,_ Ilie-gavenTrnent-‘'ilthe-szenr-to have nothing better- to do. It is equally irritating in the business world. Only yesterday I walked out of a supermarket simply be- cause the item I had rushed in to buy wasn't in its accustomed place. I wanted a pack of "blind robins"--Ismoked herring to you cultured people -and they weren't where they were sup- posed to be.

Even such a staid institution as a bank seems to think that, it too must now innovate. In the larger banks at least, you can no longer wait for the cute little teller who knows you; you must wait in line and then when your turn comes you go to whichever teller is ready to talk to you. But one thing I never thought would change is the venerable tradition of placing the maker's label at the back of whatever you have to wear. If you want to check the collar size of a shirt, for instance, you find the label at the back. If you happen to be old-, fashioned enough to wear a hat and you can't always be sure which part of the hat should point front, you merely find the label, and that's the back of the hat. Don't tell me it's not impor- tant! Just about the first thing a mother will do when she wants to. teach a young lad to dress him- self is to know which part of his BVD's is front, and which doesn't matter so much. "If you will just remember that the label goes at the back, Junior, the fly will always be up front where it be- longs! And you won't have to stand there crying and jiggling like that!" Would you believe it? The restless people have even changed the location of the label on kids' underpants? Sears, at least, puts it alongside the leg. word with the designer who had the courage and the genitis to make a momentous change like that. On'second thought, he's probably left Sears by now and gone into the civil seritice.

Every member has the potential freedom to change his behaviour and learn a new way of life. We do not accept a fatalistic viewpoint that we are unalter- ably fixed in a particular cycle of behaviour. 7. Every member shall have the right and obligation to work for his livelihood. We do not want to be kept in a state of depend- ence on welfare charity. We ack- nowledge our obligation to the people of the Province of Ontario to manage Hon Accord's affairs and resources efficiently in the interests of achieving an •economically viable community. In testimony of these con- victions, in the belief that they are a faithful expression of the highest ideals of former mem- bers, and in the hope that future members will honour them in - •work and action we hereto affix our signatures. , 0-0-o • Four Phases All this responsibility is de- signed to change the behavioural patterns of the residents. The men are graded in areas accord- ing to their social -recreational; political and drug, alcohol behaviour. Mr. Skinner pointed out that the men go through a total of four phases before they are considered ready to face society. •:-.7Phatei One ustiblly-= lasts a. month. In this time the man does not have drinking rights. He is expected to serve on a committee and shares a bedroom with one or two others. His Wage is at the ' lowest level. If the resident shows that he can cope with the restric- tions in phase one, he proceeds to Phase two. • In phase two the resident will make- his own medical appoint- ments when necessarY, serve as chairman on a emmnittee and will learn to control his alcohol consumption. This phase lasts anywhere from two to 10 weeks. In phase three the resident is • considered as a leader in the •community. He carries out resi- dent supervision duties, may serve as a shop foreman and makes friends outside the farm and joins in outside activities. In phase four the resident pre- pares to leave the community. Mr. Skinner said that this may be done very gradually depending on the resident. The man may get a job outside of the farm and still live there or vice versa, making the break away easier. The average age of the appli- cants is around 42. About 70 per cent of the men wbo apply to Bon Accord have first been to a del. toxication centre. They have come to Bon Accord strictly of their own free will.
