Go up one level in this thread


Hi Bob:
You are right: evolutive improvements over time are the way things has happened
until now in this field, BUT by the same reason I smell the posibility of an
uncoming breaktrought. I mean, if you take a look at every technology and
science, always great breaktroughts are preceded by a long, sustained period of
time where the main issues of a field seems to be solved and just and only
improving. It was so with steam locomotives -that reached a great level of
perfection-, it was so with pre-einstein physics, it was so with every
machinery, technique and body of ideas that have ever been created. In fact is
that same evolution that prepares the road to breaktrought as much the evolution
develops all chances hidden in a  previous revolutionary idea.
Course, we have the issue about how much is breaktrought. In that and in
relation with chess computers, you and other programmers here have the word, not
lay as me, but then i would like to ask you which you believe could be a
possible breaktrought.. Maybe pattern recognition of key positions as GM do?
