As noted in another bulletin that I just posted, maybe improved performance will
eventually make these questions moot.  But . . . maybe not.

People will still be trying to play the "King of the Hill" game.  The
competition between computers for the top ranking may still add sufficient
incentive for the chess engine developers to look for ways to make new
improvements, such as the one you mention:  i.e. playing better in closed
positions.

What do you think?
