After yours and Murat's answer to my post, I feel like I just beat Kasparov on a
100m + 60s match :)

Way a cool feeling to start 2005 :D

Hehe, you might said "so i have infinite amount of information to learn" since
the maximum knowledgement achievable is that we know nothing.

What about discuss the death of Computer chess? I mean, once the Tablebases get
to 32men and the Free Fruit 2149 does the same moves than Deep Shredder 212
Bilbao, computers move instantly, and with perfect play all games end in draw,
nobody will care about computer chess anymore, would it?

What will happen then? The humans will start to try learning the computer moves
just like today's human use Computer's Opening Chess Novelty Moves? Or we will
just stop using Computers for analysis? (Since they say: THIS POSITION IS DRAW,
DRAW, DRAW, DRAW, THIS ONE IS SUICIDE IN 162, THIS IN 81, THIS IN 49), by the
example most moves with perfect game end in draw, so you may do your favorite e4
d4 or c4 moves with the same chance of winning, then Computer analysis is
worthless since it only will say stuff like "If you do h4 as white you get mated
in 201", making you to not do h4, but you still need to choose between e4, d4 or
c4 (Or any move in where you don't get mated for that matter).

And please don't tell me it's too soon to discuss it! I don't want to wait till
I'm 49 to start discussing the death of Computer Chess, even if it's far away at
that time too.

We only have the present: Today. And we have to use our time to plan the future.
What about long therm future?
