The experiment was performed even before. In "More Chess and Computers"
by David Levy and Monroe Newborn we are told that Richard Greenblat of
the MIT wrote a program called CHEOPS that improved a previous one -1957
vintage- MACHAK VI. Cheops was designed in this way: whenever Machak
reached a position considered strategically satisfactory, Cheops would
take a look at the further tactical posibilities. Levy played a game  in
1978 against this machak-cheops machine and won at 44 move.
The poitn is, howeweer, what Chris has said: how to coordinate these
engines in order to prefer a tactical or non tactical evaluation. This
decision presuposes another engine or criteria, but then what you need
is to develop that engine that knows how to wight tactical and
strategical nuances.
