The Convergence Algorithm: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Enable Multidomain Operations

Known as the “Opera Game,” the 1858 chess match played during an opera between Paul Morphy (considered the greatest chess player of his generation) and two opponents—German nobleman Karl II, Duke of Brunswick, and French aristocrat Comte Isouard de Vauvenargues—is arguably the most famous match in history.

It is a prime example of attacking chess that conveys the importance of development, time, sacrifice, and tactical combinations. Although multidomain operations are clearly more complex than chess, the stochastic nature of chess can provide a framework to consider and analyze this concept. The integration of artificial intelligence into the game of chess has revealed new strategies and evolved the game to new heights.
