Subject: Yet another approach!

Author: Hristo

Has anybody thought(experimented) about another approach for solving the
chess game problem?!
It seems that after all this time one would come up with the conclusion
that the current algorithms are somewhat going in the wrong direction!
The programs still play fairly good chess, but ultimately there isn't a
single program that approaches the solution of the chess game. The
algorithms based on creating and evaluating a tree of possibly "good"
moves and *then*(or along the way) applying a filter criteria for fine
tune the results, seem archaic. The concept of pure algorithm that
resolves the chess-problem doesn't seem to be in the scope of all these
extremely smart and knowledgeable people !!!!! The main concern remains
centered around tests and tournament results and some silly ELO rating.
Well, then one might ask "How come CraftyX.xx can not win against
ChessMaster?! Crafty is updated continuously and yet it doesn't appear
to have a better grip on what is going on, on the chess board! All these
updates to all these programs ... and the results are still
unpredictable .... !!??"
I feel like there is another, much simpler and straight forward approach
to the chess game. The problem with everyone is that nobody knows the
correct questions to ask when trying to resolve the Chesss-game.

Have you ever thought of any alternative ways of getting to the bottom
of this(Chess)?!
I certainly have. Just don't want to speak too early ... since some of
you might have been there already ...

Best regards to ALL!

p.s.
    What's up with this "jerk" on "alt.games.chess.computer" ... what an
idiot anyway.
    ohh yes ... Bob why do you bother answering this stupid bastard?!
