Hello,
I've sort of thought for ages, there is something about chess and human conciousness that connects on a very deep level.
There is a deep connection between chess and DNA, that I don't think has been truly analysed yet.
2^2^2^2 = 64
DNA and chess

Re: DNA and chess
I don't know why the mathematical statement on the last line is there or what it has to do with chess but I should point out that it is ambiguous as well as incorrect. To be unambiguous it needs brackets because:-
2^(2^(2^2)) = 65536
((2^2)^2)^2 = 256
I don't think there is any way of putting brackets in that makes it give a total of 64.

Re: DNA and chess
Perhaps he meant the way that the three base sequence in DNA gives 4^3=64 possible codons, more than enough for the 20 amino acids and the stop codons.

Yeah you got me Neill. I left school at 15 not realizing I had a brainNeill Cooper wrote:Perhaps he meant the way that the three base sequence in DNA gives 4^3=64 possible codons, more than enough for the 20 amino acids and the stop codons.
I'm given to understand the size of the human genome is 3.2Gb, with my limited understanding, this seems to suggest that you could fit our entire genome on a DVD! The compression is mindboggling. Perhaps it's the complexity of chess, with its seeming surface simplicity of only 6 different kinds of piece and 64 squares resonates somehow with the way our minds work. How else can you explain the extraordinary phenomena of a four year old Susan Polgar, beating much older people, except by saying there is something intrinsic about chess and what our neurons get up to?
