Hi Mark,
I think that the pure fact that programs running on normal personal computers
are nowadays achieving this amazing results is a big milestone for artificial
intelligence, thanks to the powerful hardware advancements but mainly thanks to
the sophisticated algorithms of searching of the best move and the expertise
injected in the eval functions.
This is a big achievement in A.I. and can't be simply ignored.
I care about it and if Mr. Hristo doesn't care I don't care.
