Hi Mike !

Of course. I am not a programmer, but I believe that in chess it is
continued programming like 50 years ago. New techniques have been
introduced but the chessprograms continue with the rules A and B of
Shannon. The chessprograms continue being blind, they specify to analyze
of 40/40 moves and they don't plan, they continue smashing with the
"horizon effect" the chessprograms have that to begin to break the
"horizon effect", using "chunks", planning to long term and to use
algorithms to examine only 1 or 2 positions in each move discarding
the other ones very faster, in another case will never end up playing
chess well.

Regards,

Victor.
