> >Your point is that computers will play beautiful chess when they play the way >that you think they should. no my point is what was interesting to the early pioneers in AI programming and the reason chess was chosen as a meaningful game to try to get a computer to play was to learn more about how humans think current day programs do not do consider the same sorts of things that humans do when making a move,therfore they tell us nothing about how we think 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. well i can agree that something need not be beautiful to me to be beautiful to you. > >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. i would say again that computers do not play as humans do which for me renders the current day status of chess programming as uninteresting for me,if i had a program that played 1000 points lower then the current elo leaders ,but emulated more closely how a human conjurs up a move..now THAT would be interesting!
