I think that you overevaluate correspondence masters. I played some games against ICCF correspondence IM's SIM's and one GM and I did not get the feeling that they are in general better than computers and I got the feeling that in part of the cases they were simply oursearched by my programs. I also think that you underestimate the potential of computers that is clearly better than what they do today. The question is not what computers can do(they can do every task better than you) but what programmers know to teach them. > >Would 500 cpu's Diep be able to solve (or at least to win) this position: > >[D] 5k2/4R3/2K3p1/4BbPn/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 89 > >I assume it would shuffle around the white pieces for another 50 moves. I do not know and prefer to assume nothing. It is a bad idea to assume things about thing that you know nothing about its evaluation. Uri
