Dear KarinsDad,

If you have seen the sprint races among humans you will notice that the
difference between first and fourth place may be only four or five feet.  You
know that all of the athletes are "about the same" and yet the "winner" is just
a "little bit better".  So it is with computer chess and drag racing.


I rest my case.

PS  Evolution works like this with "adaptions" that make the populations just a
"little bit better"  at surviving a particular environmental stress.
Eventually, you have gotten from an ape-like hominid to our chess-programming
primadonas of today. So don't tell us that little advantages are not important.
How did we get from "Applied Concepts" Boris the talking chess computer to
Hiarcs?
