Wuthering Checkmate

A whole new literary criticism theory is starting thanks to a revolutionary new approach: chess.

Well, it's true that it's still in an embryonary stage but the prelimary results are very promising. The algorithm is described on Cabinet Magazine (Issue 35) and you can use their NovelChess program to make a comparative reading of a couple of novels, including Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. These are some of the most interesting results:

W= White B= Black

Jane Eyre (W) - Wuthering Heights (B) WH wins. Checkmate in 60 moves.
Wuthering Heights (W) - Jane Eyre (B) Draw in 93 moves.
