Go up one level in this thread


Ed Schroeder on the Rebel site under chess 2010, seems to be
saying that for a chess program (computer) to beat a computer
the computer does not have to have much chess knowledge, mainly
the abality to look ahead and calculate. He says that Rebel Tiger
is specifically designed to beat computers.  These type of
programs he thinks will not do as well against GMs.  On the
other hand Ed will continue to develop the main Rebel program
to have a lot of chess knowledge. Very interesting!!
