In chess this looks obvious as chess has only so many parameters and can be encompassed in terms of great search depth (even by a promissory 'absolute search' by some susper computer in the distant future). With regard to human endeavour in other intellectual areas this is not so simple as there are too many parameters. However, I do agree with you that sometimes a highly intelligent person can make up for his/her lack of expert knowledge by sustained analysis and deep understanding of a subject matter. Djordje
