You're right! Just tell those crazy guys that cloned Dolly you want pigs with
wings, and wait a year or two. That's it.
The interesting questions here are:1) Why do we want to get Chess solved? 2) Is
it really necessary? 3) Will we learn something useful from these algorythms?

P.S.: Maybe those crazy guys will get _really_ interested in that idea of pigs
with wings... a new paradigm!
