Subject: Computer chess calculations vs human... [DUPLICATE from r.g.c.c]

I posted the same message on r.g.c.c, but received no response there:

I'm sure that this is a naive question, but I would be grateful if
someone would answer anyway.  Now, it seems to me that humans play
almost exactly the opposite of computers.  At least I do.  First I look
for a goal that might be approachable.  Can I capture the queen?  Can I
form a forced mate?  Can I get a knight fork on something of value?
Then I work backwards from the situation I want to achieve to see how I
can arrive at it.  Computers just ram forward and see when they stumble
on something nice.  Has anyone tried programming chess from the goal
backwards?
