I think that a good program shouldn't have as much as possible chess knowledge,
because it would mean slower calculations. IMHO: The best program would be a
compromise: having enough chess knowledge and enough speed. Probably most
(or all) todays chess programs would need more knowledge than they have. But
I believe someday one could add too much knowledge at speed's expense. And
a faster searching program will find holes (they always exist) in that
knowledge and win.
