you got to be fucking kidding!! i don't see anything "super" there. even mobile phones with chess game can think chess moves. in my old phone i didn't ever win with hard mode

Surely moblie processors aren't equally capable in terms of speed & depth.

However, I did record this at an exhibition sponsored by Nokia. Perhaps they were attempting to animate the recursion process to present a visual treatise. Perhaps they were simply alluding to what mobile phones may well do in the near future.

Thanks, now i know why the hell i cant beat my damned cell phone.

That is the point. People and their wild imagination and perception is the only thing that gives art value. If most people in the world truly valued Spongebob Squarepants as "better" art than the Mona Lisa, then that is art.

If you think about it from a technical standpoint and ignore the great benefit art has socially, emotionally, psychologically, and even physically then it can be interpreted as having no utility and is simply a waste of resources.

@wirefree101 currently the engine on most smart phones is ranked with an ELO over 3k.

@daijme "Chess" (formerly called Chess Tiger) on iphone/ipad calculates about 200,000 nodes per seconds , so a cell can do it ;)

[AmarrStriker]

@omer131 many engines are very good in positional play , all is about how much time the engine developper decides to spend on tactics or position. any positionnal calculation will slower the engine knots/second strength, making him "see" less far in the search tree, but giving him more short distance strength which can lead, depending on the position, to an advantage or a disadvantage. all is about the calibration between both.

Kind sir, please zoom in less so that we can see the whole screen, thanks awfully.

i actually tied with this thinking machine 4 last year, believe it

[omer131]

@wirefree101 any engine no matter how depth cant thinking like human brain,in fact what they do is not thinking but calculating.they are very good in tactical play but not in positional play.,

@wirefree101 this is a well known chess gui that draws colored lines to show the principal variations of the engines analysis. it's a java program i believe and this is not a super computer. just a regular computer.
