finding moves is not playing chess. you don't have to  find  A MOVE but the plan
to win the game.

Finding moves is good when you want to solve test -suites. but
this is not playing chess.

even if you FIND MOVES in each half-move, it is IMO not playing chess.
it is ... as you said it... finding moves.

in positions where you cannot FIND anything, no MOVE , the programs play
horrible.

correspondance chess players can kill the programs.
