I believe this is where what's theoretically possible and what's practically possible are different. In theory, you could solve the "problem" of chess with tactics alone, as the end result is just 0,½, or 1. If you keep throwing enough zeroes behind that number, then at some point I think it indeed would play above 2800 elo. I'm not sure how many zeroes you'd have to use, though, because what would really matter in this case is depth of search. On the other hand does anyone >believe that it is POSSIBLE a chess program could be written that would squeeze >2800 elo out of an old 4 mhz pc ???? I don't. :-) -- James
