Strategy is the now main factor in most computer programs, that is it is the most important thing to be programmed in. Your statement that todays programs do not use strategy is incorrect. Positional playing or planning is pure strategy and it is incorporated into more and more programs as time goes by. The problem is that it is extremly hard to do. Tacytics, on the other hand are execelled at. Just search to a fixed depth and whom ever has captured the most men or had checkmated his opponent is ahead. Giving weights to controlling the center of the board or limiting the number of moves that your opponent can make is considered strategy. Sacraficing a man to gain better control of the board is startegy (notice the word control). Strategical planning is the ultimate goal of all programmers and they will continue working on it and perfecting their programs until they can not be beat by any one, execept maybe another program.
