Go up one level in this thread


I know very little about programming, so take what I say with a big grain of
salt.  I suspect that as high-end computers get more afordable, more
programmer's will be writing a version of their software (like Deep Junior), for
multi-processer machines.  Since they'll be writing for that platform
intentionally, their programs will be much better optimized & efficient in the
future, therefore, alot stronger.

Also, I think more & more, chess software publisher's will figure out how to
incorporate 'intelligent switching' between engines, so that you might start the
game playing an engine that handles the opening really well, but then as you go
along the engine will switch 'inteligently' to another engine that handles that
part of the game your in better, & then again, another engine, when (if), you
arrive into the ending.

Of course I think these things are already being done?  But we'll see in the
future much more shophisticated iplementation of them.

Of course I won't be surprised if I'm 100% wrong about all of this!

Happy all things to everyone:)
