And chess players. Computers will never beat the best chess players.
- cko 11y agoI believe this is not true. There are chess engines with ELO ratings several hundred above Magnus Carlsen's.
- sinatra 11y agoA chess game is, in the end, a massive tree of all possible moves that can be made. Once computers are powerful enough to simulate all those possible moves, they can be sure of winning (or at least not lose) every game against a human starting from move #1. Just like tic-tac-toe.
- snowwrestler 11y agoJonny is being sarcastic--computers have already beaten the best chess players. But I would point out that even though that is true, people still make money today selling chess sets and chess software and chess books and chess tournament tickets to other people. edit: clarity
- cko 11y agoAh, that explains it. Should have read parent post more carefully.
