I do think there are programs who are better than some professionals, at least on certain parts of a game. ( carefull enough ? ) (I would really like to see ZChess play with a professional book fe.) This is probabely the difference between prof and amateur. Some amateurs might be better on some points, the prof will be better on most points, or at least have less weaknesses. >Is this good enough now? if not I can TRY to explain again.
