Did they find any >evidence? There is an algorithm that is proven to guarantee perfect play called minimax. A trivial, but substantial improvement is called alpha-beta. In either case, the result is purely of a theoretical nature. The problem is that the algorithm takes a prohibitive amount of time to execute. For all intents and purposes it would take forever...with current hardware. >Anyway, which is the possibility to get a very powerful chess engine or program >or soft that depends almost nothing upon the hardware? >Thx. >Dr Wesler >blwesler@mail.retina.ar
