On the Value of Chess Squares
We propose a neural network-based approach to calculate the value of a chess square–piece combination. Our model takes a triplet (color, piece, square) as the input and calculates a value that measures the advantage/disadvantage of having this piece on this square. Our methods build on recent advances in chess AI, and can accurately assess the worth of positions in a game of chess. The conventional approach assigns fixed values to pieces (= ∞, = 9, = 5, = 3, = 3, = 1). We enhance this analysis by introducing marginal valuations. We use deep Q-learning to estimate the parameters of our model. We demonstrate our method by examining the positioning of knights and bishops, and also provide valuable insights into the valuation of pawns. Finally, we conclude by suggesting potential avenues for future research.

Image encryption based on 5-D hyper-chaotic and a novel chess game permutation
In the last few years, information security based on chaotic systems has become increasingly important. This paper proposes a new encryption algorithm by merging a hyper-chaotic system and a famous game, to inject more robustness and information security against attacks. This proposed new cryptosystem is divided into two main random parts: a confusion which is an XOR between an image and a mask created by a 5-D hyper-chaotic system equation. Diffusion is a new permutation technique involving the application of chess moves combined with a hyper-chaotic 5-D system. The algorithm comprises six rounds the number of game pieces, whose cipher image is obtained after a combination of confusion and diffusion applied to the clear image. Experimental and analytical results show that the proposed algorithm demonstrates lossless encryption and decryption, with security tests confirming the good encryption results of our work, a larger key space, with a key size of 2

. Numerical simulation demonstrates that the proposed system is safe and reliable for image encryption.

When person and public are hard to square: Transnational singularity in Martin Johnston’s ‘In Transit
While a large amount of Martin Johnston's poetry, reviews, and interviews were gathered and edited by John Tranter in a 1993 publication, there has only been a handful of critical works engaging with his poetry. During his lifetime (1947-1990), Johnston published three collections of poetry, a novel, and a collection of Greek translations. He appeared in The New Australian Poetry (1979) and is often viewed as a key member of the 'generation of 68.' While Johnston's poetry could sometimes be long and highly experimental, its anthologisation has tended towards the least difficult. Brian Kim Stefans suggests that Johnston juggles the desire for a public with an alternative sense of solipsism in much of his work, even going so far as to argue that it is Johnston's 'private singularity or sense of himself as unassimilable detail [that] makes him distinctive among Australian poets' (n.p.). This desire might be viewed more broadly as a desire for cultural belonging or what Petro Alexiou terms 'a deep emotional connection and empathy with common experience and culture' (n.p.). Alexiou suggests that this desire for connection is in tension in Johnston's writing with 'a very complex intellectual and artistic response to it.' This constant analysis of belonging, of try to understand the self's relationship to culture, leads to a sense of unassimilable detail in Johnston's work that is often bound up with a sense of excessive and endless textuality.

Forms of Opposition: Shakespeare and Middleton
All art is oppositional; opposition is intentional; intentions are biographical. New Criticism and deconstruction enforced an untenable distinction between tools and toys, art and biography. Biography informs opposition because any position may be opposed from more than one direction. Shakespeare (church papist) and Middleton (moderate Puritan) opposed the early modern regime from very different perspectives. But Puritan and papist opposition shared certain political values, and the opposition between factions never silenced oppositions within each faction. These pluralities of opposition shape representations of nationalism, obedience, hierarchy and the past in King John, 1 Henry IV, Henry V, King Lear, A Game at Chess, Hengist King of Kent, and The Widow among other works; they also influenced the future reputations of both writers.
