Subject: chess programmes and the wall

Author: Rajen Gupta

Is it inevitable that all chess programmes must hit the wall? Genius and MChess
Pro are two of the most outstanding examples. rebel 10 has not been rated and
would be difficult to do so in the absence of autoplayer, but perhaps rebel is
nearing the wall as well. eventually i think we'll reach a stage where all
software progress on single processor machines ceases and we must rely on higher
processor speeds and multiprocessor configurations on the hardware side for
improvements in playing strength.I wonder whether multi threaded chess playing
engines would be the answer to progressively improving playing strength on thr
software side?
