"The Newtonian Casino" is about a group of hackers who build shoe-computers to cheat at roulette.
It's a fascinating true story.
A similar device could easily be built for chess computers. Especially since hardware now is much more powerful, and much smaller, and battery technology (while still being lousy) is much better.
What kind of chess computing could you get from, for example, Raspberry Pi? What software would run at reasonable speed on it?
- showerst 14y agoThe really high powered chess engines will take 1-2s or more to calculate even on a high powered multi-core box. The more obvious approach is to compute the moves on a 'real' computer elsewhere and just transmit the result via some tiny hardware in a shoe or something. These games were streamed online, so they only needed communication to be one-way (computer to player).
