Kasparov: The depth of the computer's calculation gives it certain positions understanding. Even as we saw today, machines don't >understand many things. But only if it goes beyond the depth of its >calculation." > This comment by Kasparov is very deep, and its not a publicity stunt. Nobody - computers or humans - can see the game to the end, and therefore we develop the concept of positional understanding. For humans, it is indeed a feeling, and it is at least as important as calculating variations. For machines you put things on formula so you get plusses for the bishop pair in open positions etc. I dont believe that a human that only analyses chess as tactics will ever come much above 2000 ELO. But I may be wrong here. Whats your ELO, Otello?
