But to play more cavalier, and be correct at the same time, that sounds like a very great thing. It's a much greater challenge. But it should also win much more, because it is much deeper chess. But if it has to be at the expense of breadth, then it is simply a "weak" program which comes up with interesting ideas. And since the cavalier attitude makes it lose more, against machines, so its cavalierity is of little worth. But SOMETIMES,it's correct which makes me extremely interested, and therefore I might be wasting days and nights trying to work out if it is right or wrong, because I'm that kind of an addict. That's what chess means to me. The harmony between truth and beauty. But if I KNOW that it is right otherwise it would have never made some sacrifice (something you could always presume about computers-until now), then I wouldn't need to check if the computer is right or wrong, but would spend the time LEARNING from the computer etc. S.Taylor
