Hi Djordje:
I too think KK maybe went too far, but I can understand him. The problem is Alex
promised to be -or seemed to promise- part of a new crop of chess software based
in learning capabilities a lot beyond what is usual and then you get a program
that not even learn book lines. Mi disappointment was increased by the fact I
read the booklet about Mr Tiegelen experiment in reaserch Before playing the
program. Nevrtheless, you are right. It is pretty strong. I have played just one
game -but now I will play more- and I was defeated after a combination that I
did not see, but not because was very difficult, but because I had no faith in
the program and so I played disdainfully. By the way, this is another issue
worthy of discussion: How to avoid a playing attitude that is from the beginning
self defeating of you rgame but by the same reason, defeating of the program
capabilities as much you never decide to play seriously to measure his real
strenght.
Greetings from Chile
Fernando
