Planning

In 1997, Jan van Reek ^[4] categorized Planning in chess to three main characteristics, Tactics, positional play, and Strategy, where positional play serves as guideline for planning of a strategy ^[5] :

	Terms of Planning	Aim	Dominating abstraction
Tactics	Short	To gain material or to mate	Matter
Positional play	Medium	To improve the position	Space
Strategy	Long	To swing the balance	Time

Long-term planning by human chess players is usually made on the basis of reasoning, experience, and intuition, as investigated by De Groot in 1946 ^[6] .

		John Denis Martin Nunn, a British former world top ten (1989 rating of 2620) chess grandmaster ^[1], chess composer and three-time world champion in chess problem solving, chess writer, publisher and director of Gambit Publications, mathematician with a Ph.D. in 1978 at the age of 23 on algebraic topology ^[2], and polymath. He has been involved in information extraction and data mining from endgame tablebases, as lectured at the Advances in Computer Chess 7 conference ^[3] and published in the ICCA Journal ^[4], and further played against chess programs at four Aegon Tournaments, 1992, 1993 (tied with winner David Bronstein), 1994 (tied with winner Larry Christiansen), and 1995. His 10 and later 20 opening proposals as published by Computerschach und Spiele were used in engine testing and matches ^[5]. In 2013 ^[6], Nunn applied the 7-piece Lomonosov Tablebases to R+2P vs. R+P positions from the famous book Rook Endings, 2nd edition, by Levenfish and Smyslov ^[7], which was assumed to contain the truth and, owing to Nunn, this is no longer so.

		Arthur John Roycroft, (born July 25, 1929) an English chess endgame study composer, international judge, and author. He is co-founder and member of the Chess Endgame Study Circle, founded on March 16, 1965, publishing the studies magazine End Game (EG) ^[1] . Roycroft was its publisher for the first 102 issues, from July 1965 until 1991. Since then, the Dutch-Flemish ARVES, the Alexander Rueb Vereniging voor Schaakeindspelstudie ^[2] has been publisher, but Roycroft stayed as editor-in-chief until 2007, superseded by Harold van der Heijden ^[3]. Roycroft's adaptation of the Guy–Blandford code in the 70s resulted in the GBR code, an efficient way to index any chess position, in particular endgame studies ^[4].
