Hi Uri,

You are wrong: There is only one thing to come up with better
moves in blocked positions: CHESS KNOWLEDGE.

Give DJ a 1000 times faster machine and no extra knowledge and
it still will play moves like c4?? It doesn't KNOW what to do
in a blocked position and that is fatal.

Van Wely-Fritz from the Dutch championship and Kramnik-DJ prove
that it still very easy for a strong human to make a computer
program look silly.

But that is the paradox in computer chess: More knowledge would
avoid such losses, but slow the program down. And then it would
score worse against other computer programs, making people think
it is weaker. How to solve this!?
