Below is just my pure fantasy (no malice intended, just thinking out loud): Somewhere in the near future.... The brain of any chess program is its evaluation function. What if CM10k comes with a learning function that could adjust its evaluation parameters on its own to get 98% to 100% match of moves in a database of games of any of the top-of- the-line programs. Then it would mean that it could clone itself to the program just like what Charles is doing manually. Imagine creating a database of Hiarcs 10.64 (64 bit:)) games and let CM10k analyse through (with auto-adjusted analysis time per move to mimic hardware and time control used in each of the actual game in the database). Then CM10k stores the evaluation parameters as a `Hiarcs.cmx' personality. That would make you want to buy CM10k ? Then Mindscape may want to pay Charles for the idea. CM's analysis at present already measures in % terms the moves made by a player/another program to which it agrees or disagrees based on CM's evaluation funtion. It could easily be programmed to work backwards to get close to 100% agreement by adjusting its evaluation function. The end result is that Hiarcs.cmx might not be identical to the real Hiarcs, but as a `clone' it would have resemblance. In fact not just CM, any of the existing programs could have this new cloning function for its next function.
