The Problem of Pure Mind in Chess

Summary/Abstract: This article philosophizes about the problem of the pure mind in chess. The author considers whether only a human chess player possesses a pure chess mind or if it is the privilege of a computer program. It highlights that the pure human-chess mind is fragmented and depends on a visual perspective of white and black pieces as well as on the perspective of a theoretical system. On the other hand, the mind of a computer program (or simply the mind of a „machine“) is all-in-one. The article considers whether we should be looking for a pure chess mind not in a human being, but in a chess computer program, which has no visual perspective of black and white pieces and does not experience psychological fatigue.
