Go up one level in this thread


  I mean that WHEN a program comes out can never lose more than 50% (of course
making sure that computers stay optimized for both programs)after 4-8 games
against todays best,then we will have the  almost authoritative program.
It might need to be up to 150 extra elo points above the rest. maybe a bit
less. A person can get tired, but a machine ought to be more consistent
once the programming has reached its target. But the bugs and weaknesses
have to be corrected. Or are you saying it's not possible to strengthen
a program in one area without weakening it in another? i.e. there's no
absolute in chess? and Kasparovs greatness comes from studiyng his
opponents?
