The future of chess programs will probably be for an artificially intelligent tutor to analyze your game while it is being played. Additionally, this tutor will be represented in real time via audio and video (possibly 3D) and be practically indistinguishable from a human. That will probably require a 256 bit architecture. Sound farfetched? So did a lot of things in the past. For those of us who purchased 4K Ram computers with no hard disks a mere 20+ years ago, 1 Ghz, 512 MB, 30 Gig systems seem like a dream. But they are reality nonetheless. KarinsDad :)
