Bill Gates is pretty blunt about computers and chess... but seems to be right on the money... "The toughest problem of all in computer science, much tougher than computers that hear or see or any of those things, is to make a computer that learns. And here, we don't really even have a basic approach yet. When you hear about advances in computers that play chess, that's brute force. I mean, it's very impressive that they can do it, but it's purely brute force. It's not based on the same kind of pattern recognition that humans have that is very general in nature."
