  The Mutilated Chess Board
The number of transistors on current processors would require a number that inhabits the 28th square of the chess board,using the King's grains to measure it,after this point there becomes a physical limit on the number and size of the transistors.
It's possible that because of this such circuits will exhibit "quantum interference effects" which may or may not be beneficial depending on how they are exploited.
This is where the gods play games with the lives of men, on a board which is at one and the same time a simple playing area and the whole world.

 Interference (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interference occurs when the line between an attacked piece and its defender is interrupted by sacrificially interposing a piece.
It is a chess tactic which seldom arises, and is therefore often overlooked.
Although interferences are quite rare in actual play, they are a common theme in chess problems.

 Walter Grimshaw, Chess Player   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
A Grimshaw is a device found in chess problems in which two fl pieces arriving on a particular square mutually interfere with each other.
However, the bishop on b2 interferes with the a2 rook and stops it moving along the rank - this allows white to play 2.Qh1# (after a different fl move, this would not be possible because of 2...Rg2, blocking the check).
It is this mutual interference between two fl pieces on the one square (in this case, a rook and a bishop on b2) which constitutes a Grimshaw.

 Grand Master Eliminates Wrong Moves
Chess players do use their memory quite a lot, but this is only in opening (where it's exactly the other way around: we already know the good moves, we might even play as much as 20 moves without blinking an eye, because it's a well beaten path).
Chess is about pattern based exploration of a search space, based on pruning the search tree, and this is further based on recognizing higher order patterns, and creatively applying principles (higher order rules).
It is well recognized for professional chess that players have to continuously educate themselves and keep their mind in best shape by solving chess puzzles, studying one's own games and the games of others, studying the games of others, exploring positions with their peers (I learnt that CriticsAreYourBestFriends in chess).

 Solving in Style
There are chapters on series problems and other unorthodox stipulations, and also a discussion of specific themes such as the Novotny interference.This classic text is one of few on this important subject, and is now available again, having been difficult to obtain for a decade.
Chess positions for solving are as old as the game itself, and provide stimulating and beneficial exercise for chess-players.
However, while there is an abundance of books on chess puzzles, and much specialist literature on studies and problems, there is an astonishing dearth of guidance for solvers.

Interference: Fred Reinfeld in his book, 1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations, explains: "Interference, as the term indicates, occurs where the defender is forced to block himself.
This is because the player will have better mobility for his or her pieces and pawns, while the opposing player either must use up a valuable tempo or tempi to try to counter attacking pressure by the player, or simple will not have the speed and ability to counter at all.
This can help to distract the opposing player's attention from what he or she is doing (e.g., pressing an attack, setting up a defensive position, and seeking to create a mating pattern and mating net).

 Halfbakery: Computer Chess Mat
Computer chess sets, while fairly diverse, are not nearly as varied as chess sets in general.
The idea is to have a thin, flexible, almost transparent electronic chessboard mat of a few different sizes which can be used with any chess set to interface with a computer player, or act as an automatic logger.
And to avoid interfering with the aesthetics, it would have to be small, thin, and transparent.

Caching is also involved in what is probably the most severe kind of interference as well – that which affects not just performance but correctness.
The thing that kills me about all this is that decomposing a complex system into the right set of components with the right interfaces between them in a way that minimizes interference (or potential for interference) is the very essence of an architect or designer’s job.

In chess, a tactic refers to a short sequence of moves which limits the opponent's options and which results in tangible gain.
Pins also fall into this category to some extent, although it is common for a defending player to relieve neither of the two threats posed by a pin, in which case the attacking player commonly maintains the pin for a longer period of time.
Chess instructors usually steer beginners away from any detailed study of openings, focusing instead on tactics and endgames, which serve as the basis for later strategic understanding.

Our global chess federation has rarely thought enough to even keep me informed, let alone compensate me financially or even apologize for these repeated frustrations.
At a press conference at the Russian Championship in Moscow two months later I told the media that there were no contracts, no financial guarantees, and that FIDE was giving disinformation.
Needless to say, it turned out that the lies were solely on the FIDE side of the story and it speaks volumes about the organization that no apology to me was forthcoming and that this official is still working for FIDE.

 David Deutsch’s Many Worlds
Through interference, each particle in our universe can be affected by its counterparts in other universes.
Any physical object that can store a bit can in principle also serve as a qubit, but in practice, because interference is harder to control in larger systems, qubits have to be microscopic objects such as individual ions or atomic nuclei.
Scott Aaronson at UC Berkeley has since drawn my attention to some comments by Richard Cleve (quant-ph/9906111) pointing out that chess and chess-like games (with a fixed number of choices per move, especially if this number is small) are not very suitable for speedup by Grover searching.

In Madrasi Chess a piece when observed by a similar piece of the opposite colour is paralysed, and can neither move, capture nor check, but may paralyse in turn.
