✦ Synopsis

Alth6fer, I., Data compression using an intelligent generator: the storage of chess games as an example (Research Note), Artificial Intelligence 52 (1991) 109-113.

Computer chess has been called the drosophila of AI, and currently chess computers are in some sense the most impressive results of AI. In this note we present a robust method of compressing chess master games with help of a fast deterministic chess program. To the best of our knowledge this is the first example where a concrete product of AI is used for data compression purposes.
