Subject: Re: Will It Take A New Kind of Chess Engine to Whip Kramnik?

Go up one level in this thread


The question is I want to know what the cup half empty or half full?   A 50
percent score with 4 draws included is quite like having a lever and both sides
have equal weight.
I might add that the 2nd half of the match was different by score than the 1st
half. Did Kramnik get tired?

I believe there will be improvements no matter how small or insignificant the
rating increases for each piece of computer code is added on the software side.
(also known as quantum leaps).   The opening and endgame libraries are fine
examples.

On the hardware, my educated guess tells me that will be a limit on speed
(Moore's law for example) sometime in the 3rd millenium.

I want to add that statistics are interesting computer chess.  For example, you
can prune the nodes differently (one for the middle game, another for the
endgame, another for the king and pawns only, etc.) so that you could have a
dynamic pruning system.  (Does that make sense to anyone?)

I hope this was inspirational Einstein; your CCC profile says this.
