Amen to that also!

But chess will NEVER be solved... there are physical limits which cannot be
overcome. You know the old chestnut... "there are more unique chess positions
than atoms in the known universe". Even using photon activated transistors we
are limited by the speed of light... which isn't fast enough either.

But hey, the engine would play a helluva game though! Not perfect, but better
than anything we could conceive.

And can you imagine two future chess engine titans battling it out for ultimate
supremacy,  as we watch dumbfounded by the depth and profundity of the
moves..... thinking "why did it do that? what's it seen? wow, what a move!"...

Then a freakish human player might actually hold a machine to a draw.... what a
great victory! Probably make headlines in TWIC January 2050.

Who knows!?   :-)
