I got excited when I read that but after a moment a thought I realized that in chess in a position if you change a piece to the left/right you get in 80%+ cases a different position with different strategy. Or so I reckon. Which would mean that appliying this holographic algorithms to a chess position encoded as a 2d image will not produce in most of the cases a position from the database which will suggest a valid play from the original position ... or am I wrong ?
