Why don't chess programs automatically implement a random chess feature changing (by some say .05) the evaluation algorithms? It would give a much more lively chess play. What happens, otherwise, is that the chess program will, at same time controls, play the same move over and over again, making the game boring. Also.. it would prevent other chess computers from adapting their strength to that particular chess program. I believe it should be quite easy to implement... especially on some specific parameters : i.e. passed pawn. Others could be left the same in order not to weaken the program more than much: i.e. king safety. These parameters can already be manually modified in many chess programs.. but there is no feature (that i know of) that does it automatically in a "quasi" random way. I don't know much of chess programming, but in phylosophy "theory of chaos" has helped and is helping more and more.. some principles of chaos have been applied to speech recognition for example (aristotelian).. It may seem a paradox but.. who says that the best move is going to be the best after all?
