Here's hoping everyone does not run for the door when whish list is mentioned. As we all know present chess engines can just about trounce everybody. But for the initiated and passionate few,stronger engines are not desired by those who are genuinely interessed in the game of chess,who like to play chess and who want to progress. By these comments I do not mean stop the strength progress.On the contrary, I can easely see that developments in this area could lead to insights elswere : better games at lower strengths for example. By all means let's have very strong programs: mais "de grâce" progammers gives us,the less gifted,the opportunity to progress. Chess Master is a perfect example of how to cater to those under 2000 ELO. We need more of this TYPE of program. CM analysis presentation is much better because it gives not only who's winning and loosing,but in addition what has been accomplished.Eg better pawn struture, better mobility etc.And it can present this if required with the spoken word. This type of flexibilty is what we need. If it is any encouragement to those who design chess engines I have improved 200 Elo thanks to you. I enjoy chess but I want to understand why I loose. More importantly I want to win!
