Go up one level in this thread


Dear Oliver,
You are stick to the past when progs was still quite dumb, but nowadays these
programs really shines and beat the best gm's without many efforts, hardware is
also contributing to these outstanding performances, but also refined search
algorithm that achieved the following break-through predicted by Thompson et al.
:
"Selective search will always loom as a potentially faster road to high level
play. That road, however, requires an intellectual break-through rather than a
simple application of known techniques" (Condon and Thompson, 1983).
