 I think chess makes a poor yard stick for measuring computer
intelligence.
 Chess is all tactics, If for example it were possible today to make a
32 man
 tablebase would it not play perfect chess? Even a simple full width
chess
 program run on a fast enough computer would play perfect chess if it
could see
 mate from move one. Intelligence is much more then speed of
calculation.
