I don't think that one should use fuzzy logic to EVALUATE positions, but rather one should use it to CLASSIFY positions. Computers are excellent at running the mathematical formulae needed to evaluate just about anything you want at high speed. Where they are weak is in CHOOSING the right formula to evaluate the position with! Understand that the evaluation part of chess can be done brilliantly already - but the classification (choosing the correct eval functions for the positions) is currently a fundamental weakness, and we'll be on our way to creating a program that can consistently blast GMs off the board with affordable computer hardware! -g
