Although there apparently have not been many games played between the top programs and humans strong enough to win against these programs, there seems to be a general consensus among the more computer-savvy CCC members that at least some of the better programs are [or "probably" are] better against humans than their comp vs comp tests would seem to suggest. True? For those on this CCC who know at least a little about how chess engines work, the questions: (1) "What do you suppose there is about the inner workings of such programs, which do better than expected against humans, that help these programs against humans?" (2) "What is there, specificaly, about some programs which make them seem to NOT do better against humans than their comp vs comp test results indicate?" If specific answers can be obtained, then what do these answers suggest for future design guidelines for chess engines?
