Mark, he(mister Thorsten) has a point !!! You have to admit that. There is tactics and there is positional understanding! How much of each is needed to make a strong player is another story. There is similar question in physics. Is the electron a particle or a wave ?! Father and a son have received Nobel prizes for proving that the electron is a particle and that it is a wave. I do beleive that every position contains enough information to determine the correct move. We just don't know(yet) how to find out where is this information stored! Can you name one program(or computer) that can predict(calculate) every possible move from the very beginig of the game unitl the very last move ?! If you can not, then all these programs at some point must use some sort of artificial evaluation of the position not based on tactics. Best regards. Hristo
