Chess and mathematics have been pursued intellectually for centuries by many researchers and scientists, especially mathematicians. Naturally, the logic and symmetry in chess appeal to mathematicians. The following mathematicians either played or studied chess in their life: *George Airy (July 27, 1801 – January 2, 1892) *Conel Hugh O'Donel Alexander (19 April 1909 – 15 February 1974) *Adolf Anderssen (July 6, 1818 – March 13, 1879) *Henry Ernest Atkins (20 August 1872 – 31 January 1955) *George Atwood (October, 1746 – July 11, 1807) *Charles Babbage (26 December 1791 – 18 October 1871) *Walter William Rouse Ball (August 14, 1850 – April 4, 1925) *Harry Bateman (May 29, 1882 – January 21, 1946) *Max Black (February 24, 1909 – August 27, 1988) *Ludwig Bledow (July 27, 1795, Berlin – August 6, 1846) *Richard Borcherds (b.
