Go up one level in this thread


Its about Artificial Chess Intelligence and the ability to play the BEST.  If
this means software chess versus hardware chess to accomplish this, then may the
best be the winner.  Like everything else if Brutus does show a domination in
the computer chess field you will likely see other manufactures/designers come
out with their own Hardware based chess program. Driving the cost down so people
like me will purchase it...  I do have an interest if price is resonable. My
guess will be these Chess Hardware Cards will NOT be found in a computer but
rather installed in a regular Computer Chess Playing Board.  That would be cool.
