There are pieces of knowledge that aren't personal experience and that sometimes makes young children play master chess, compose music or being a mathematical genius. Within these fileds you can be borned gifted. This kind of knowledge is so basic that it's "impossible" to break down in measurable units to be used in a chess program. Finally, what has music, chess, math and art to do with survival? Darwin, say something! //Peter
