Thorsten's definition of knowledge based program is not clear. The definition is not based on nodes per second(otherwise it is not logical to say that gambittiger is knowledgebased when Crafty is not knowledgebased program). > >But you're right about one thing, Gandalf isn't a bean counter AFAIK, even >though that definition is slightly blurry to say the least. > >Btw, chess programs don't make plans. You interpret their moves as a plan, but >it isn't. I believe that it is the case. I am not sure if it is the case because I do not know the source code of all the programs. I believe that it is possible to do programs that make plans and not only calculate moves(it should first calculate target position and later search for moves to achieve this target) but I believe that there is no program that works in this way. I am sure that it is not easy to do it and I have not a clear plan how to do it. Uri
