It's not true if you claim that you can't learn anything if restrictions are made. However this is rather academic, since it's the GMs that decide how it should be, not the programmers, or am I wrong? >It is better to give humans better chances by other ideas( like to give humans >more time) but not to make restrictions about the software or the hardware. No, it isn't. You treat human chess players as guinea pigs for the purpose of improving chess software. I don't like that point of view. Sincerely, Mogens
