:idea: It would be very interesting to have another Human vs Computer match, i think. Perhaps we could all play the computer, by voting on the moves we like and the most popular move gets played. Simular games have been played, like "Kasparov Vs The World". Kasparov had alot of trouble winning that game, it was only in move 51 "the world" made its losing mistake. (check out

Maybe we could beat the computer!

What do you think Greg, is this possible on net-chess.com?

What Microsoft didn't publicize durring that match is that they couldn't tell the difference between a single voter, and someone registering under 500 different accounts and voting for "bad" moves. And at one point they refused to accept the move which received the most votes, which would have immediatley lost the game.

I'm not against another man vs. machine match, but one where people vote won't be practical.

You´re probably right Greg. It was just a idea...

I like the idea of a match against this server with a forum where we can say our things and ideas about a possible move. It is good for learning.

Is there a way to do this?

How deep can a computer compute after a day?
21 moves like arlowc discoverd?

That of course depends on the computer. But anyway, I read somewhere that in the year 2050 the game of chess will be solved, if the increase in computerpower continues at the same rate as the last 30 years.

I've read somewhere that this problem could be simplefied by using analysed positional representations. With tactical information and such combined. Kind of EPD extended.

With the memory the computers nowadays have, I asume this has already been implemented?

I'd be happy to take on a computer... I don't want it to be a rated game though just in case lol.
