HI Ross >Botvinnik is an obvious example of a truly great player who turned his hand to >building a chess machine. yes but he did not succeed because he tried an alogrithm which tried to mimmick the way a human thinks when he plays chess this form of computer chess would be agreeable to me the real improvement in PC chess play occurred when the hardware improved today its all about the hardware and the speed its not about chess at all.its about high speed number crunching it might as well be the Chinese game of GO if this forum were a computer GO forum ,90% of the posts would be exaclty the same: installation issues programming questions tournaments held between to progs with no human involvement other then to run auto 232 and report the results here with cutting and pasting,like a mere pizza delivery boy etc.etc. > >I beg to differ that programmers have no love of the game. For me, it is >precisely the love of the game that drives me on. well there is always the rare exception and i said Most.. not all :) >On the other hand, we see the human administrative side of chess is filled with >politics and acrimony. this is of course true but really a seperate topic > >Chess programmers will continue to take chess to the next level... and the next. >Aren't you curious to see what chess looks like when played perhaps a 1000 Elo >stronger than any human has ever achieved? :-) oh no this will not be chess and it is not the next level but rather a different level it will be anti-chess :) Best Regards, Steve
