You also need more people to think it's important enough to work on. Most of us do computer chess as a hobby. There are but a handful of people in the world who are free to work on their program all day, everyday (if they want). Since those few people probably aren't willing to stop working on their chess engines that are among the best in the world to pursue what has been shown to be a lost cause in the past, I hardly think it's worth comparing it to the invention of the airplane. Or in simpler terms... There were probably many people working on the invention of the airplane, and they probably all thought it was very important. Lots of people with the drive to get the job done. There are a handful of people working on computer chess, and none think creating a "super evaluation function" is of vital importance at the moment. Very few people (if any) who have little (if any) drive to get this job done. In short, don't hold your breath. Russell
