The moves are very nice, but correlating the TIME needed to find them, the branching-sorting of the moves (is the key move sorted 3rd branch or 30th branch ?) , is the evaluation accurate, or does search LATER makes it more precise, is the rest of the main-line ok ? etc. etc. etc. Beside the move itself, there is SO MUCH to correlate that gives me INSIGHT about the strength of the programs that I fail if I would only have to replay the moves WITHOUT those life-correlating data. >I'm much less certain how well >PEOPLE can do this based on their own judgements.

You are a vulcan and you believe (like e.g. SAREK believes) that emotions cloud their judgements. Hm. I don't believe like SAREK or any vulcan. Kirk always won against Spock in chess, although SPOCK tried not to have emotions. :-) My experience says that emotions and "clouds" that avoke biased judgements are the most interesting feature of human-beeings. This fuzzy feature is very difficult to react, even for vulcans or computers (Data!). The most interesting biased people are females ! I am happy to live in a world where people are subjective and emotional and biased. I could not exist in a world where girls are like vulcans. I never found that YOU try to discipline yourself to be rational and havong NO distrubing emotions. When I remember it right you were a very nicely emotional guy ! > We do have great pattern recognition facilities which >you have alluded to, but our judgement is pretty poor. > Hm.
