As is well known, Fritz and some of the other programs often play ugly looking moves in comparison to Hiarcs and other "knowledge-based" programs. Yet, Fritz is at the top of the SSDF. My question: Do these moves look ugly simply because human beings come to the game with a set of heuristic principles, which suits our neural networking hardware? Do human beings attempt to "overimpose" order and/or symmetry on the game, simply because of our own cognitive limitations? Maybe so, because Fritz is clearly comeing up with 2600-2700 rated moves, on the average. Are these ugly moves also rated 2600-2700? Do these moves point to holes in human cognition that will eventually allow computers to eclipse human beings in strength? Roger
