I think they have tought Fritz to not play forward it king shelter pawns when kings have castled (or walked) opposite. Usually that is a pretty good rule, e.g. for sicilian types positions. No matter how many rules the program is tought there will always be exceptions, the only hope is that the search can patch it. I think Garry just deserves credit for playing an atypical game where the programs knowledge was counter productive and the lines were too deep for the program to realize what was going on. >I mean is there a difference between a 4 cpu system, and an 8? if it doesn't >know what to do, it won't matter how many cpu you throw on there? A ply or two wouldn't have mattered that much in that position I think, 10 plies might have made a difference, who knows... >or am i completely wrong? And that we can still go leaps and bounds further >using c++ Well I think the game clearly demonstrates that there is still some way to for computer chess :-) -S.
