In some VI programing languages (PROLOG) symbols and knowlage representation are the basic, but symbols are again coded with list of numbers (ASCII codes). These are the main reasons why numeric oriented chess searchers (AlfaBeta, NullMove, PVS, NegaScout ...) dominate today. The most powerful engines are also numerical oriented - the difference is only in type of numerical evaluation of positions. We are a far away from the building the chess masine that "fill" position. Till that moment grandmasters will simply play against computers - block the position and play slowly in low tactic environment. regards, vladan, AXON programmer
