I mean that since this forum is about computer chess, so I'm asking if we can really complain about the present level of computer chess, i.e. playing strength of the top programs. i.e. even though there may be much more yet to improve upon, can we really say as consumers that we simply don't yet have the product we have been hoping for? In other words, Is there something we simply cannot do yet, since the playing strength is not strong enough? Presumably, now that we have Fritz 8008, and Shredder 7.04, and about 3-4 which are very close. Perhaps a year or two ago, we DID have what to complain about, or certainly 3-4 years ago. But DID we then? If so, do we now? Of course, it depends what you want playing strength for. If all you want is that a program should give you a hard time, I'm not such a fool as to ask be asking if we have reached that stage yet! (I'm also thinking at present, that there's a limit to how great playing "strength" can be, without great wisdom being seen, such as planning etc. So when we speak of greater strength, we are thinking of wisdom, as we have almost come to limits of what can be done without great chess wisdom, havn't we?) I have my own thoughts on this question, but It's still not clear to me what people generally feel about it, and the specifics. Could I please hear your opinions and evaluations? Thanks S.Taylor
