If hardware will be from one day to the next one more speeded by factor of 1000 or 10000 everything will be changed dramatically. For now we must wait more that 1 year for some doubling of the computer speed. Computer logic will stay for some time the same but, probably, more brute force approach could replate many advanced pruning technincs. If, for instance, at the end of the game, when we have already only few pieces on the board, computer in natural way will be able to see around 18 plies deep, there is the possibility that all the database for the end of the game could be forgotten. It is normal to expect that speed of thinking and precision of chess game run on PC will overwhelm for ever every human in this Planet. At that time the best chess game will be not the game that play better game (all of them will be better that human) but those that are only bug free. Leonid.
