Go up one level in this thread

The algorithms used in chess programs could not only be used for games, but for
many other pursuits as well.  Chess is primarily a searching problem, and a
difficult one at that.  I can forsee very easily how chess algorithms could be
applied towards (for instance) finding an item in a database.  How about
rearranging a DNA sequence with a minimum number of chemical reactions?  Never
mind the checkers, go and othello, I think the algorithms can have universal
value.
