Constants

tag :: String

Used to qualify XML.

flank :: [Rank]

The distinct ranks of the constant ordered range of those pieces of which each side has exactly two.

promotionProspects :: [Rank]

The constant list of distinct rank to which a Pawn may legally be promoted; though there's no point in promotion to other than Queen or Knight.

defaultPromotionRank :: Rank

The rank to which a Pawn is, in the absence of instruction, promoted.

plodders :: [Rank]

The subset of ranks which can only move in single steps.

fixedAttackRange :: [Rank]

The subset of ranks which attack over a fixed range.

individuallySufficientMaterial :: [Rank]

The subset of ranks which lacking support, are sufficient to force checkmate.

pieces :: [Rank]

The distinct ranks of the pieces from which the back row is composed, i.e. everything except Pawns.

nobility :: [Rank]

The ordered ranks of the pieces from which the back row is composed, including duplicates.

range :: [Rank]

The constant ascending list of all ranks.

expendable :: [Rank]

Those ranks which can be taken.

nDistinctRanks :: NRanks

The constant number of distinct ranks.

Functions

compareByLVA :: Ord rankValue => EvaluateRank rankValue -> Rank -> Rank -> Ordering

• Given two alternative capture moves, this function compares the rank-value of the aggressors.
• N.B.: a King is always considered most valuable, regardless of the evaluation-function supplied.

Constructor

listArrayByRank :: IArray a e => [e] -> a Rank e

An array-constructor.
