to Walter Montego:
Well, if you are breaking rules, it is easier to win competitions. And that is, why computer programs are more and more dominating. They still are allowed to use huge look up tables and gigabytes of table bases. A human opponent is not permitted to use even his own notes.

We have to distinguish between using machines to analyse situations or to perform an equal fight. How will you compare the quality of programs, when both sides have different ressources? How should their ablities be compared to a human being. It might be very effective to fetch data from huge tables, but it is not at all intelligent. It is essential for intelligent processes to give results based on restricted information in short time. Having Terabyte bolides play will become uninteresting immediately the will have won against the World Chess Champion in a match.
