To put any number of programs giving votes for a move and then having a simple device to play the most voted is not problem at at all, but there is in that nothing like a fusion of ideas or whatever, just a democratic process. And certainly what we could get is not the "best" move as a supposedly result of a common acumen. "Best" depends of the parameter of what-is-good or bad that comes from some architectural design.

I feel like joking a little bit too, but my memory is trying to remember that around 1993 a three brains consisting of Chessmachine King (programmer Johan de Koning), Mephisto Lyon (programmer Richard Lang) and operator Dr.Ingo Althöfer, a German mathematician and chess amateur rated 1960 at the time. Third brain Althöfer selected one of the moves computed by the engines or played the move both programs agreed upon. In the 1993 Aegon tournament 3-Hirn scored 4 out of 6, with a TPR of 2401. Win against Nico Kuyf, draw against GM Vlastimil Hort, draw against Alexander Münninghof (Euwe's biographer), win against WIM Jessica Harmsen, win against Michiel Wind and loss against Bronstein in the last round.

PS: That was with three weak engines, imagine what 3 top engines and a human brain selecting the best move can accomplish and for the human, GM Larry Kaufman replacing Komodo to select the best move would be just fine. Wink
