Go up one level in this thread


We saw a game played last year with the computer winning the game without ever
getting out of its opening book. It gave mate without ever having to use its
evaluation engine. I did not and still don't think that unlimited books should
be allowed. What I mean by that is, I don't think that computer books should be
allowed to go any deeper than say 10 moves. If this were the case, I think that
the games would be more realistic and even whether they played humans or other
computers. I know that a lot of people disagree with me, but this is my feeling
about the subject.
