>>> No, my point is that there are things that you cannot foresee with calculation not true in chess. you gave the example of being able to see 80 plies ahead. suppose i could. wouldn't it prove that "strategy" is mere guesswork... filling in the blanks with generalities wherever we cannot see accurately in time? calculation is science. that is why a chess programmer who plays 1800 chess can create a program that plays chess 1000 points better. the scientist perfects the method of calculation, and the machine "knows" what to do with the pieces on the chessboard... so accurately, so often that it seems a long term strategy was devised... no, it was just calculation, if this, then this is best, and this is better.....
