Robert, Mr. Hyatt, thanks for all the new info on the 'Deep Blue for consumers' chip! Does Mr. Hsu already have a name for it? I suppose you could call it 'Baby Blue' , but maybe that is too innocent a name for this monster... (A topic for the polls, maybe, choosing a good name?). Regarding your thoughts on 'guts' , I am not a programmer, but does not the 'soul' of a program reside for a large part in its positional understanding also? Since the chip can be operated in parallel to a software program, could it not be used mainly for a deep tactical evaluation? Letting the program do a 1 ply search on all the positional features Deep Blue is not very good at, while the chip does a 4 ply mainly tactical search? It would be up to the programmer then to decide how much weight each of the two evaluations must get to retain the original character of the program. Am I making any sense here? Kind regards, Eelco de Groot.
