First sentence: This paper concentrates on formulating heuristics for playing chess which 'must be broad enough to encompass the best moves, yet selective enough to avoid wasting time on the absurd lines of play' [8 p. 158] These 'broad yet selective' heuristics are evidenced in human play, because studies show that the chess master subjects only a few moves to detailed analysis [7].
