Gosh!  This sounds really dreary!

Maybe we need a completely new generation of chess engines which incorporate
some serious middlegame learning abilities, other than just tweaking some
parameters.

There have been many "artificial intelligence" threads here.  Have none of these
threads had any impact on engine design?

Does anybody know whether or not "high I.Q." chess-playing programs are "on the
drawing board"?  At least in the dreams and fantasies of the programmers?

I hope there is hope of a big breakthrough in software design.  We need a high
I.Q. program, don't we?
