I don't think that computerchess has much to do with AI.
there is no AI in a chess program.
Its only clever programming. And i don't see where there is ANY research
coming to a significant result in computerchess doing AI.

There have been efforts, but they failed. Today computerchess
is mainly (IMO) different than academic. its a job. or if you don't earn
money, a hobby.

but science ?

academic field??

there is no AI in chess.
or ?

Or do you know any chess program that is intelligent ?
please name it and its successes against other programs.

i don't see what rolfs topic has to do with computerchess,
bob or AI.

its the usual way of him to start a flame against Bob.
In opposite to Rolf, Bob has done scientific research in computerchess.
And his project is completely OPEN and visible for anybody.

This is what i would call scientific.

What Rolf is doing, is IMO gossip. Since when is gossip an academic field
or AI ?
