​Tokyo Tech Talks #9, "Laser Chess and the Consequences of Deterministic Games," is coming up on Tuesday, October 27.

​In Laser Chess, there are no dice and no hidden cards. Every piece is on the board, every move is visible, and the laser always follows the same path through the same mirrors. If nothing is left to chance, what is actually left to play for?

​On October 27, Ai Sekine, a mathematics and engineering student at the University of Pittsburgh, will use Laser Chess as a starting point to explore what it means for a game to be deterministic, and what follows once every outcome is fixed by the rules and the moves.

​No game theory background required. Just bring your curiosity, and stay for drinks and conversation afterward.


​Tokyo Tech Talks #9「Laser Chess and the Consequences of Deterministic Games」は、10月27日(火)に開催します。

​Laser Chessには、サイコロも伏せられたカードもありません。すべての駒は盤上にあり、すべての手は相手から見えていて、レーザーは同じ鏡の配置なら必ず同じ道筋をたどります。運の要素がまったくないとき、ゲームには何が残るのでしょうか。

​10月27日のTokyo Tech Talksでは、ピッツバーグ大学で数学と工学を学ぶAi Sekineさんとともに、Laser Chessを出発点に、ゲームが決定論的であるとはどういうことか、ルールと指し手だけで結果が決まるとき何が導かれるのかを探ります。

​ゲーム理論の予備知識は不要です。好奇心だけ持ってお越しください。トークの後は、ドリンクを片手に話しましょう。
