Well I guess computers are far away from being ready to play a game against a human world champion of chess where the human champion is allowed to play chess and the computer just is allowed to play chess in positions with two or more open files as well as they are not ready to play the human champion with two pawns or a knight down from the beginning. OK, the progams also seem still not to be ready to play the human champion in closed positions... but I see no reason why they shoudn't be able to as soon as the are allowed to have and find plans. Ofcourse they need a programmer first to define what is a plan, how to find plans before, during and after the game and how to use plans and aims during the search process. I am sure that computers will have plans while playing chess... and that it is not a law by nature (like E = mc^2) that computers can't use and/or find plans. Well, and ofcourse the programs will have to do their homework, too... by helping to build their opening repertoir and to extract and evaluate plans from already played games. Best regards, Ingo
