With the new AMD 64 bit CPU having been released, it begs another question ! Will it be possible to extend the search horizon so the chess programs can see deeper into the game, in the same amount of time ? Interesting, don't you think! Because i am not a chess programmer perhaps this question may seem naive to those of you who are ! However having said that, it's always been my understanding that speed and memory were a key factor into how far a chess program can see ahead! "Because of the fine balance the chess programers most adhere to based on the speed and ram available to them". So, if this is true, then would it be correct to say that the "potential", for a greater horizon into the game is possible ? If this is true, then the quality of the endgame will increase, middle game planning ! The amount of chess knowledge in the program will be able to be increased because the program will be able to access more information in the same amount of time and not get into time trouble ! The next few years should prove interesting in the field of chess programming ! Earl
