From: Smeghead FLASH NET> Date: 17 may 1997 Subject: Chess Computers Hi, True, chess computers rely on pure computational to find the BEST move, but it still his limited arificial intelligence. They do know what a good position is and what isn't. They can also tell if a certain move will immediately turn into a bad position, and so will skip that move when processing the 10 or whatever ply searches. Bye
