It is no doubt possible that, with say a two move look ahead, a position could be reached where one best next move has the exact same evaluation as one or more others. What does the computer do in such a case, toss a coin? Is it possible that a position could be reached that has two or more moves that are evaluated as exactly equal after a twenty move, fifty move, two hundred move look ahead? Could a position exist for which two or more moves were evaluated equal after a number of look aheads that was equal to the number of known particles in the universe on which to store the evaluations? If such is the case can a computer in theory ever play the perfect chess game?
