Subject: Would Self-Awareness Improve Engine Performance?

Author: Bob Durrett

Making any computer program be "self-aware" would require some extra software,
and the CPU time devoted to running this extra software would take away from the
total CPU time available to the chess engine.

But, for the sake of discussion, suppose that the time required would be
negligible.  In that case, is there any way that the self-awareness could
improve the performance of the engine?

How about learning?  Would that not be facilitated by some sort of
"self-awareness?

Is this, in anybody's opinion, a promising area of research for future
developments in chess engine technology?
