You end up with conflicting results.Even top GM's dissagree over the same position.

I suppose for "simple" starters one would have to match known positions with previous analysis. Sort of a collection of books and known analysis of existing games (checked first with engine analysis). Obviously this would have to be modified and updated constantly over time.

And if there is a disagreement, maybe the analysis of the engine may be able to eventually see deep enough to allow for matching a long term planning "phrase" and its advantages.

Since we cannot do this with chess, we are obviously a long way away from creating intelligent robots. But as an exercise with chess maybe it could spur new methods of AI in other future applications.

Spot On Cliff!

The idea is to create an A.I. progam to interpret the analysis and give a full expanation of that analysis.

It will be a separate program to do this job and a real challenge in A.I.

Such a program would be costly as well, but well worth the effort in my opinion.


I hope some talented minds out there gives this some serious thought.
