Greetings from your friendly Chess Math promoter! I am greatly impressed by the CCL community that Alan has so amazingly and thoughtfully developed.
I was very encouraged by the first meeting we had on December 1, where I was controlling the critical chess/math connections, and Alan refined the ideas and concepts for the CCL community.
I have since been able to get some clear ideas for more Chess Math. Still very much in the direction of how you "mathematize" more and more basic chess ideas. Mathematizing ideas from various contexts is essential for much of mathematics and the high tech industries.
Looking forward to working with Alan on continuing this Adventure well into the future.
