In Chess human's rely on memory and patterns compared to computer's who rely on brute force mathematical calculations. Recently human's have started to program 'pattern matching' into computer's making them a lot stronger.

@Electromusicaus That is fascinating- if "pattern matching" can be written in computer code to further improve the strength and speed of chess engines, this is surely one more step towards "artificial intelligence"?

@chessdocumentary True - although human's will always have that special skill , 'something' ,which is unable to be replicated by machines, and at times more powerful than any computer program will ever have, and way more valuable ----- 'intuition' Roy
