Mar 19, 2014 at 14:01 comment added pim999 This does not really answer my question. My question is on how a human player compute the shortest path (without or with other pieces on the board). Your answer is about how a computer would answer the question. I might be wrong but I don't think that a human chess player build the graph in order to search for a path. Beside, I don't think that the shortest path with other pieces relates to a Travelling Salesman problem. I think that even in this case it should be a Breadth-first search, so it is far less complex than the travelling salesman.
