as long as the programmers believe that a game of chess is just a test-suite
of positions, many , one after another, programs will never learn to PLAY chess.
they will always try to find the "key-move" in a position.

but that is the problem. instead of doing an idea, they find best moves.

but a best move in a position is NOT the best move in a game.
this is IMO something the programmers maybe do not see.

and even IF they see, nobody really knows how do generate planful play.
or if he tries, it takes long long time to balance the new ideas the
way the results is serious.
