Developing Interactive Personalized Tutors in Chess
Keywords:
Chess, Interactive Tutors, Personalized Tutoring, RGT Solver Package, Chess Engines Interaction, Personalized Education, Technology Enhanced LearningAbstract
We suggest an algorithm and computer software for personalized interactive chess tutoring. The article starts with analyzing some standard approaches to teaching chess, listing some of their pros and cons, especially concerning personalized and interactive learning. Further we specify the algorithm as an approach to tutoring chess providing variable behavior depending on specific student skills. Then we describe the implementation of proposed algorithm, which includes involvement in RGT Solver package and engines interaction tool, providing tutoring handling and progress fixing mechanisms. We also provide a certain valid chess endgame tutoring example.
