Uri I think the word stupid to describe chess software is wrong.They may
examine seemingly illogical lines but by doing this they minimize the
possibilities of making blunders which humans frequently make.Although it
might be time consuming and lead nowhere it nonetheless is fulfilling a
function and so, I would argue,merits some praise.
