Go up one level in this thread


Hi All,
I probably should have stated WHY I thought that this was interesting.
Extreme Tech is a technology internet magazine that has a pretty broad base of
readers.

The days of Deep Blue brought a great deal of positive publicity to those of us
who love chess. To see an article at this point in time in this magazine was the
important point. The more people that get exposed to chess, the more we on this
site will find "kindred spirits" and the ever present Darwinism that in chess
programming will continue to progress.

The next Vas or Fabien or Coz will come from one of these kindred spirits.
Unfortunately, they will make the programs so good that our cell phone will
eventually be capable of beating any GM at any time control!

When semiconductor technology gets below 45 nanometers in the semiconductor
world ... that will probably the end for humans ... 8 Opteron cores on a single
chip, 2GHz FSB DDR SRAM @2GHz .... 10M NPS using the Rybka NPS counting
methodology! We will probably have 7 man EGTB's by then!!

Anyway, I thought that it was good for Chess and this forum to see that the
Kings Game has not been forgotten.

Best Regards,
Frank
