I will be posting about it later today but wanted to draw your attention to:
Hacking Chess with the MongoDB Pipeline
http://www.snailinaturtleneck.com/blog/2012/01/26/hacking-chess-with-the-mongodb-pipeline/
By Kristina Chodorow.
Kristina uses the new aggregation facilities of MongoDB to analyze chess
games.
Aggregation is based upon uniform identifiers (chess pieces/moves) but
the important point is that the analysis she presents isn't possible in
the absence of aggregation (actual or simply keeping a mental tally).
I was thinking the what analysis is/is not possible in the absence of
aggregation might be a fruitful topic of discussion.
Hope everyone is having a great week!
