With the advent of quantum computers which are about 5 -10 years away the computers will tweak opening theory and the human opening theory will be an imperfect relic of the past. Even with the computers of today the 2B + K vs. N + K which was thought to be a draw for 300 years has been proven to be a forced win for the 2Bs. Of course the win is some 200 moves in length which is beyond the 50 move rule.
Organic brains are a technology that in many areas has been surpassed by silicon brains. While it is true that the organic brains created the silicon brains, that does not mean that the silicon brains in the form of quantum computers won't be able to create an even more advanced "brain".
I believe that with quantum computers chess will become a solved game, just like checkers became a solved game a few years ago.
My post # 18 will clarify what I was meaning.
I see. But nevertheless, the best human chess players are still able to beat engines in correspondence chess, due to their superior strategical insight. In opening play, strategical insight is crucial - that's why chess engines use opening books created by humans.
So I'm afraid that your approach won't create advancements in opening theory - not with the engines available now or in the near future.
I guess will have to agree to disagree on this one. The only proof I have to offer is the last time the best player in the world played a computer, though he was able to win one game out of 6, he was thoroughly humbled. Need I add that both Rybka and Houdini are vastly superior to Deep Blue? Have you noticed that no GM has recently came forward to challenge Houdini to show their flaws? I watched a GM thoroughly demostrate, in a video on youtube,the best ways to try to beat engines. He said 10 years ago you had a chance, but the chance is literally all but gone with the latest advancements. If you wont take my word for it, maybe you will trust a GM's opinion...
He was humbled by the engine, but that would be because the engine chose from the best moves available in its database, moves that were taken from numerous grand masters, and none that it came up with on its own... that and some brilliant programming.
Ofcourse the depth of thought is incredible, the lurking truth here though is that it works on algorithms and not by concieving a strategy. We can however learn and device strategies from the resulting game.
