It is like the example of two people playing a game over the Internet by using computers. Some examples are easy for one person to state that they are not computer chess whilst another person will state that they are. The example of the maximum number of positions is one such example since some people would say that it has nothing to do with computer chess programs (i.e. chess playing programs or chess databases or chess position analysis or chess playing interfaces, etc.) whereas another person such as yourself will say that it does have something to do with computer chess (an element of chess was calculated with a computer). Another person could say that the URL for a web page for new FIDE ratings is computer chess related since you need a computer to access those ratings (i.e. the Internet is being used as a chess ratings database). Another person could say that posting the URL is not computer chess related. I do not always use black and white examples, but sometimes use ones that are shades of grey to get people to think about it. KarinsDad :)
