Go up one level in this thread


Hi:
You can extend that analogy between chess and almost any other scientific or
artistic perfomance. Chess needs over all calculations, area in which human
brain does not excel. Science or arts needs somthing more complicated, sometimes
called intelligence. It is not about calculating, but about perceiving,
grasping, almost smelling patterns, perhaps a kind of organic process where,
yes, you can go back, then again forward, etc.
Never a scientific discovery or a novel were made on the ground of
"calculation".
So no weird that talented guys like our Chistophe and other programmer here are
far below chess master level.
Would  I dare to say that just average programs are the product of good, rated
chess players?
Oh, just a joke...
