i can agree with this
but i would add that chess was first chosen as a worthy subject by the early AI
programers because of the desire to learn more about how we humans think
winning has nothing to do with this
and today program's do not even remotely choose a move they way humans do and
they tell us very little about how we think
we simply have gotten far afield
