If the objective was to make it play exactly like humans, then I suggest that such an effort is more or less a complete waste of time. After all, we already have humans to accomplish that goal. >>>brute force,speed and power are the order of the day >> >>Kasparov has the brute force, speed and power about equal to any current >>comptuer.

My point is that compters play beautiful chess right now. I know it is a fact, because it is beautiful to me. And if it is beautiful to me it does not have to be beautiful to you in order to be beautiful. If you want to say that computers do not play chess that is beautiful to you then I cannot possibly disagree, because beauty is totally subjective.
