And the map is full of strange words or lines called: double-pawn, isolani, passed-pawn, backward-pawn, bishop-pair, strong-bishop, weak-bishop, ... >that's the point.

CStal has a search, and knows about germany. It knows where Dortmund is, it knows about german motorways, and that the difference between odd and even numbers of motoways. It also knows about pawn-structures. And it has a search to combine the knowledge that way, to bluff the opponent. Thats enough to reach Paris. I have driven my car to paris. And mchess sat next to me. And it made a good job in paris. So did mchess.
