In my opinion Chess is for rich people only because only rich people can afford to buy such massively powerful computers. I'm still using a 4 quad core computer because I simply can't afford to buy a faster computer. I'm also living in poverty in general and I may also become homeless sometime in th...

In my opinion it will take at least another 2000 years until a computer will be playing at FIDE world champion level.

The way I see it neural network chess engines is only for rich people. Also the installation of neural network engines is difficult and the way I see it the technology is only in the beginning stage. In 50 years from now the technology could change completely and could become much more user friendly...

In TCEC SF has many games (white and black) with 0,00 evaluation entire game :!: Some games are over 100 moves. Chess is soon solved? I believe that chess is still very far away from being solved. Even in the year 4020 (we are now in the year 2020) chess would still not be completely solved. You se...

The most disappointing thing about chess engines is that during 26 years of hard work there was almost no progress in playing strength. In fact, maybe the engines have even went backwards in playing strength. I think it's also possible, giving the history of chess engines, that chess engines will ne...

Chessmaster is old. Most of the games in Chessmaster 9000 are from 40 years ago, some even earlier than that. That's a long time ago. People back then didn't have so much chess knowledge and understanding as we have amassed today. Magnus Carlsen won't make the same positional mistakes as world champ...

A bit deeper analysis with multi-pv shows that the top 3 move choices are all very drawish, at least according to Stockfish: I wouldn't trust Stockfish. Stockfish still has many weaknesses in its evaluations. For example I noticed that many times Stockfish weakens his own kingside which is not good...

I think that memory and pattern recognition (pattern recognition requires memory but I may be mistaken) are more important in chess than intelligence.

For example Albert Einstein was very intelligent but not so good at chess so it means that chess is not just intelligence, it's more than that.

I'm not very smart or gifted but I believe that photographic memory plays a very very large role in being very very good at chess. I believe that if someone doesn't have a very good memory he will never be a very good chess player. He/she may be good at other things in life but not at chess. Someone...

Stockfish is a weak engine.

Stockfish is not as strong as Komodo 12.1.1, Alpha Zero and Leela-zero.

No wonder Stockfish doesn't cost money.

Any engine that is free will not be as good as the commercial ones.
