Na, ja

computer can very quickly create huge search trees.
The program has to avoid, that "bad" moves are to deeply evaluated.

Optimum computer strategy - the create an enourmous "opening book " - all chess
game that you van ever ply ( estimates between 10 to the power of 43 and 10 to
the power of 120 ! - then play the optimal game

counter strategy - allow the human player to change rules during the game ! - of
course according to an agreed procedure .


Kasparov may be now able to win against deep blu - but what if Deep Blue uses
the newest Fritz Software available ?

Solution - give up the friend/foe thinking about computers.
They are simply - configuartions.
And the system " human chess player ,   PC- based analysis ,  back room analysis
team is another configuration.
Let the better one win !
