There should be a lot of difference. They approach the game of chess differently. Did you expect Fritz or other programs to make human moves? >Within the limits of strategic shortsightedness, Frans and Fritz have done >wonders.

I too think there's a lot that can be improved, but I don't think that the "mechanical" style of play of the computer chess programs will vanish any time soon. I'm worried that too many programmers believe too much in hardware development instead of trying out new ideas. I don't know if that's true, but a lot revolves around hardware IMO. Sincerely, Mogens
