I guess this is the reason I am still interested in computer chess. It seems to me that the quaity of computer play is very disappointing if you take into account the number of positions they search. This is masked by the fact that the number of states searched is now so ridicuousy large that a poor player like me can no longer judge the quality of the moves anymore, but in the days of 1MHz 8-bit microprocessors this was embarassingly clear: although they searsched ten-thousands of positions, even the good programs sometimes came up ater 5 minutes of thinking with a move from which I could see in a second that it blundered away a piece... I still have not given up hope that one should be able to do as good as current state-of-the-art engines with searching only 1% of the nodes they search.
