@Wugapodes: Any interest? I studied up to better understand how the chess browser extension should work. --DannyS712 (talk) 23:18, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Wikipedia covers this a little at Board_representation_(computer_chess)#0x88 method. I'd want to find more sources than are currently in that section though. Wug·a·po·des 02:31, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Wugapodes: Do you think this is ready for mainspace? DannyS712 (talk) 16:59, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@DannyS712: I'm not sure, but lean towards yes. I would want the article to provide better coverage than could be accomplished in the Board representation (computer_chess) section. I think we're almost there, but I also wish we had a few more sources on its development history and usage in chess programs. I'll keep researching, but publication norms are very different from mine so I'm a little slow having to learning where to look for these things. Also, sorry that I've been incommunicado for the last few days. The coronavirus situation in my area has escalated quickly, and I haven't had much spare time.

Publications

[edit]

These will probably be useful for expanding the article, but aren't really useful in the article unless used as citations. Wug·a·po·des 04:23, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • @DannyS712: The DYK check doesn't work, but article is no doubt long enough. Created in time, QPQ done, hook is interesting. Copyvio is down, but I'm assuming no issues. However, a citation is directly needed in the article for the claim "In the 0x88 board-representation the layout is spread out to cover an 8-by-16 board." Let me know with a ping when this is done.

  • @DannyS712: Could you point to me as to where in the citation it says that? Also, place the reference right at the end oof the sentence that makes the claim. I'm noticing now that the works cited and references are separated when they shouldn't be; that might need some cleaning up.

  • Okay, I understand about the citations. However, that's not a direct citation about the 8x16 board. We'd be making our own interpretation that that would be an 8x16 board. Is it possible to find another source then? Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ) 03:20, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
