Go up one level in this thread


I think the point is not whether Topalov can beat a machine, but whether a
machine could play even better by using some of Topalov's techniques.  More
specifically, the flexibility to dramatically change piece values.  I think a
goal would be to have an evaluation which does not start out with pre-defined
piece values, but rather calculates their actual value from scratch based on the
position.  Or maybe this is already done?
