It is a theory of mind. I already have a doctorate (physics, from Princeton).
There are many cooks too, some whose cooking is preferable to others.
*What is Thought?* is not specifically about chess programming,
but chess programming is used as an important example. I would recommend it
if you want to understand the mind, or the difference between human
and computer game playing, or possibly as a pedagogical introduction
to computer game programs (see chapter 8).

I have published journal papers on game programming
and supervised work on or contributed ideas to experimental programs
for Chess, Othello and Go.I've also created programs, but never personally
a whole one for chess.
