Mate Solving Logic is nothing more that the logic dedicated to the solving
of inevitable mate positions excusively. Actually, it is the first part of
my chess game that I am in process of writing. Mate Solving Logic is the
part of the game that is mature and finished, never mind that even now I see
how it can be speeded up. Since before starting my game, I read nothing
about the chess theory, I wrote everything from my own mind. It appeared to
me logical to write the part of game for finding the mate first (when the
mate is on the place why go farther?) and later the logic for positional
solution. Now my Positional Logic is almost mature but still not finished. My
"branching factor" is poor. If only "branching factor" will reach
the normal rate immediately Positional Logic will probably jump beyond
everything ever done. In the same way like the Mate Solving Logic did.
