Go up one level in this thread


Hi:
You mean that then top programs will be definitively of GM strenght? Well, this
is a tricky issue. It depends if you just take score in games against GM OR if
you analyze the quality of the games. Respect the first point, probably top
programs will collect -with faster machines- enought points to be consider at
least as average GM; facts are many games are decided, even in GM level, by
tactical strikes and so, no matter how bad or mediocre is his position, they
always can win to anybody with a kind of unpolite blow in he head.
Nevertheless, if quality matters, I thinks even top programs running in monster
machines are far under what a GM can see in the board. In fact, of what even an
expert level player -like me, thanks God- can see, no matter what and even
accepting that the best glance does not guaranty the full point. I see better
than Rebel, so I believe, but Rebel win to me 9 of ten times due to tactical
shots I just did not see at all or I saw without enough deep.
cheers
