Since you might call computer chess programs an attempt to create AI, calling its chess capabilities for artificial isn't to far off IMO. It's only software. >Talking of "artificial"... Limiting the playing ability of a chess player is >artificial, and it is an expression of fear, not one of fairness. Fritz isn't a chess player, it's a chess program. And it's not a question of limiting the capabilities of a chess program, but a question of unfair enhancing of capabilities not inherent to the program. >I would like to see them encouraged, and when they happen both opponents should >play at their best. Then you ought to consider what constitutes fair. Try making a list of the advantages for computer programs and one for human players. I think, you'll find that someone is treated unfairly and it isn't computer programs. Sincerely, Mogens
