You have made your wish clear now, and it is ok.

I have reacted that way, because I think it is a main obstacle in having
different approaches to chess programming to have it been structured in
human categories.  Because nobody could describe exactly how a human being
is reacting, neither himself playing chess, it is like entering a dead end
road, if doing so.  Nevertheless chess programmers have created very good
programs.  But when trying to program games like 8x8 Chess960, 10x8 CRC or
19x19 Go that point might become more relevant.

Have good success!

Reinhard.
