How can they support something they don't understand? I never took the courses in AI when I studied computer science, long ago. Had I done this, possibly, I could better understand your notions. It isn't exactly trivial what you're doing, neither the algorithmic notions, nor the underlying philosophy. It is the latter I have the most problems with. I think I am essentially a Platonist, thinking in terms of the invisible Forms of chess. The notion that algorithmic methods can fully simulate aspects of human intelligence in chessplaying is beyond me. Had it involved computational intelligence, and an iterative development or learning, then I could better understand the notion of an AI chessprogram. /Mats
