It is again the golden age of computerchess. Only we have to make it happen.

Nah, the point of the golden times were the battles human vs. machine, and that's over.

It's only interesting if you bypass PC platforms and go in for microcontrollers. That's when humans still can enjoy a good game. If I were better at chess than at C, I think I would be able to beat my own CT800.

While we're at it, isn't it ironic? During the AI bubble, chess was one of the domains in focus, and the machines finally were able to surpass humans. Only that it turned out AI isn't necessary for chess, computation can well do the job.

time for predictions. what can we expect in 20 years time for computer besides 9 piece tablebase.

my fantasy.

after a week's thinking time, on the opening. computer suddenly shows a sharp rise in score to white from .2 to point .7 leaving experts puzzled.

It is interesting to read the story behind the program development (later part of the pdf) and the difficulties the programmers have encountered.

"In this same tournament the Novag Sapphire scored an impressive 8.5 with a performance rating of 2418 ELO."


If I am not confused the Novag Sapphire has an Aktiv ELO of about 2150 points. For this reason I think that when we program an engine with ELO for humans we do not be too hard
