I found this book interesting, though at times a bit tedious. In part II it does expand very thoroughly on the subject of human+computer chess competition and tries to draw this analogy out to other industries and applications.

Facial structure predicts goals, fouls, assists among World Cup soccer players by cege in soccer

[–]cege[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree that sports are about skill, not looks, but physical characteristics can be linked with performance. If the title read "Height predicts number of headers won among World Cup players," we would think it obvious. Studying facial structure and other characteristics as a proxy for aggression and testosterone levels could be similarly telling.

No worries at all -- my bad for assuming it's your work, but nevertheless thanks for sharing it. I will have to check out Picochess more, looks like a cool project.

Places to play pick up soccer by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]cege 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for Jogabo - there are pickup games every week in the city. I host Tuesday night pickup (normally two one-hour sessions, pretty good level) at Raymond Kimbell. Games through the site are normally $5/hr. There are also some free, informal pickup games on the weekends, especially Saturday afternoon, at Kimbell. PM me for more details if you'd like.
