If you give them a position that is recognizeable, they will see patterns and understand stuff and make a sensible move. If you set the board up randomly, they will look at it and not be able to handle it, and won't make a good move. When a reporter covers computer chess, all of them see a scrambled board. And since they are also under time pressure, their moves are all crap. No, DeepFritz did not recently beat Deep Blue. Fritz 4 (or maybe 3?) beat Deep Thought II in one game in 1995. Old versions of both, both running on wimped out hardware by today's standards. It's intriguing bait for reporters, because the precursor machines really did play. But they can't get from that idea to something factual. bruce >Tanya D.
