Here is an idea, I don't know if it has been proposed before (probably yes) or if it can be useful. The idea is to construct a chess meta-program, using a program to combine the output of the best chess programs. Lets suppose we let the best programs think during 1.5 minutes at a given position, and we collect the results. Perhaps the probability of having any of them proposing the best move, at this shorter time control, is greater than the probability of the best of them individually to output this same move at 3 mins per move. This could be tested empirically. If this was the case the remaining problem would be how to know which of those moves is really the best one. We could use the 1.5 minute per move left to decide this. This whole approach is not very different from Althoffer's three-hirn play, it is just an authomated version of it. Perhaps a new program could follow the individual PV to decide which one is better, or a majority votation could be made among the results proposed, etc.
