Go up one level in this thread


well, first of all, it must be said that comps play completely different then
IMs or GMs - but in last some games and tournaments against humans they have,
with something that looks like chess,



  What do you mean Computers play a different kind of Chess? Since sytles vary
from people, to people, and machine to machine, Chess is Chess, the rules are
the same. Programs don't all play the same, they vary among themselves just like
humans. Personally I see little difference, other than the fact that Computers
are far more accurate in calculation, which I guess gives the impression that
they play differently. Chess is Chess the same rules that govern humans also
govern computers. Your statement that computers play a different kind of chess
is really meaningless, since we all differ in how we play chess. There are many
humans that are just as boring, or just as tactically gifted as computers,
Should we say they play a different kind of chess also?
