Go up one level in this thread


Banning computers would not be good for computer chess. Why should programmers
devote so much of their lives to develope things which will never be tested in
ultimate way? Nothing is better than tournament play against top players who are
motivated in the utmost way. I agree that it shouldn't compete against a humans
endurance-too much. Memory is a slightly different question. Even human vs.
human, that is a bit fishy. And it certainly doesn't resemble like a human
running against a car, in any way-imho.
  And didn't Fisher used to think that the his ultimate aim in chess was to
produce the most perfect moves? So why should anyone think that computers can
ever do better than that?
