Go up one level in this thread


Mr. Tan,

No, I think that computer chess programs at the present do make long range plans
on a rudimentary level. Making long-range plans against a human depends on how
well the opponent defends against attack.  With 8 man tablebases  the endgame
will still not be solved.  Over 95% of all human players can't beat the programs
on our faster processors now.

Draws are obtained when play is cautious and tactics are perfect.  I would think
that a machine that can compute 100 times faster than todays machines with
program databases 100 times as large would be triumphant against all of todays
programs.

There is room for improvement,


Tim
