AFAIK this wasn't tournament time (40/2h), but faster... I think it was 1 hour for both or something like that. Programs usually achieve better ratings at shorter time controls, furthermore the USCF rating level is higher than FIDE's. >2001 >Chess Tiger 14 866 Mhz, 256 Mb RAM, performance rating >2788 at Republica Argentina. (It is only an example ) The funny answer: The Argentine GMs couldn't provide more elo. :o) The serious answer: If you compare that to results around 1994 from 40/2h games, I think there is improvement visible. >(...) >My question is , when they will stop to cut code the programmers >(with honorable exceptions) and to begin to develop programs a >bit intelligent, or we will have to wait to have at home hardware >with 256 processors and 10 TB RAM to be able to see to play chess ?. This is difficult to discuss without examples. If you can post a few positions you think programs don't understand or handle properly, or moves and variantions they don't find, people will try their programs, programmers will explain what is possible or not, etc. I wonder what sophisticated definition of "playing chess" it is, today's programs aren't capable of in your opinion?
