Mr. Adams,

I think that a Dr. Hyatt is pretty competent to make that assertion.  He has
been doing this computer chess programming for over a quarter of a century.  He
also knows about grandmaster level play.  The machines just don't have a clue in
complex positions. They will get better.  In five to seven years we will have 12
teraflop home workstations and 8 man tablebase chess programs with the
executable portions over 2 gigabytes in length.  That should give the programs
enough simulation sophistication.

But who is in a hurry.  I don't believe that the earth will end in 2012 AD.
