Alexandre+Linhares

a Brazilian computer scientist, research professor of [|public] and [|business administration] at [|Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas], [|Fundação Getúlio Vargas] (FGV), [|Rio de Janeiro], and currently director-general of the Brazilian Chapter of the [|Club of Rome]. His research interests include cognition in chess, where he is a critique of Chase and Simon's heavily quoted work Perception in chess, controversial debated by Fernand Gobet et al. . || toc =The Nature of Chunks= The debate is about the nature of chess chunks. One possibility states that chunks are built by encoding particular combinations of pieces-on-squares (POSs), and that chunks are formed mostly by “close” pieces (in a “Euclidean” sense). A complementary hypothesis, as proposed by Alexandre Linhares and Paulo Brum, is that chunks are encoded by abstract, semantic information such as given in following positions, the [|Fool's mate] and its “most economical” representation, as given by [|Jenő Bán] : /RNBQKBNR w KQkq - ||~  ||= 8/8/8/8/8/6b1/2k1P3/4KB2 w - - ||
