Go up one level in this thread


Mr. Penn,

I agree.  There is not much challenge in Comp-comp except in saying how
brilliant the moves are.  We lower players don't have the mental horsepower to
play at the grandmaster level.

The chess programmers as a group really do put an effort into such things as
databases and opening books though.  Ed and Chris have given us very exciting
programs.
