In fact the programs can't be divided into the two classes: knowledge based and bean counters. Every program is bean counter with more or less knowledge. Chess is very complicated game and knowledge that is put to a program may have holes. It's hard to take into account every kind of cases that may occur in a game. I believe programs using more knowledge will be better in long sight. Thought they now may loose to deeper searching program with less knowledge. Jari
