So I have to argue against that above: the rules mentioned would really help to
focus the development on to the really "intelligent" parts of chess programming,
instead of "stupid" looking up endless tables of openings and endings. Such a
behavior is not at all comparable to the human art of playing, because man is
not allowed to use lots of books or databases during a game. So to me it seems
more naturally to the game of chess, to establish essential limitations the way
I have described.
