Supposing to ignore 50 moves rule and 3 moves repetitions, anybody could think that position "a" is equal to position "a". This means that it is not important the moves played to reach a position, but just the position itself. Ops... we have to suppose even that castling and en-passant are not changed its availability. I think that two identical position could be the same but they could be even as different. What i'm thinking is that if we could know the reason why a player make a moves, we can search for the better answer. If a program could be so smart to analize the passed moves, with a little psichology, then that program could play better, almost against human (but we can find a psichology even for programs?). If i want to capture a pawn, maybe i lock that pawn with a knight and attack with a bishop. The same pieces moved in another order maybe means that i don't care about that pawn but i want to do something else... This leads us to call "position" not only the position itself but all the path of moves, taken in theyr order. This is just a monday's morning thought ;-) Ciao!!!
