Todays chessplaying progs, are really, really strong!! And maby Kramnnik is right when he says that progs are inferior in tactics and positional "understanding" how- ever it seems that even the super GM's (top 10) are see- king ways to play for draws and blocked pawnstructures they are ALL avoiding (maby except from Morozevich) att- acking, these "inferior" progs because of the simple fact that when it comes to calculation of: lines, exchanges, combinations, mate in 69# (lol), tempo's etc........... the prog's (top 10) are superior. And as the prog's get more and more knowledge and implementation of selflearning and arteficial intelligence AI. they WILL be superior to humans in all aspects of the game, that is just a question of time, just look at Deep junior and Deep Fritz/Fritz 6a-b's latest score against GM's. The question is not; if progs will beat human brains, but when they will reign supreme it might be in 5 years, my personal feeling is 5 years, but it might aswell be 50 years (i dont think it will be more than that though) many people might feel that the fun and intrique of the game will be taken out of chess, if the progs get unbeatable, but in that lies the real challenge for humans, to stretch there abillities and raise the level of their own game, try to come up with new ways to beat the progs, and thereby becoming better players, because no matter how good the progs get, there will always be the excitement of human v human games and matches. Personally i enjoy watching progs v humans and vice versa, I also enjoy a good celluloid battle in contrast to the sillicon binary shootouts between the top dog's of AI. By the way Deep blue lost to shredder 4 who played from a laptop with a pentiumll 450 mhz 128 ram so in conclusion you can have as many kn/s, if there is no sufficiant knowledge it is only calculations. Deep blue would probably rank as 9-10 on any rating list with todays PC progs(my opinion soley) have a nice day Jonas
