Go up one level in this thread


Why in the world would I want to go to the time and trouble of generating a
statistical analysis to provide evidence to support something that most strong
chess players and I feel is obvious.  Statitics are a weak method to resolve
this issue because one can always challege the assumptions and parameters of the
test.  Do we use statistics to establish the value of works of art?  Of course
not!  We use experts to judge the value of artistic creations.  Most strong
chess players with computer chess experience will accept the premise that there
are differences in the "human-like" style of play of todays programs. Weak
players will be oblivious to this issue.
