RE: Catch 22 - the AI

If a computer can land a 747, beat the World Champion at chess, and help to make an image-based diagnosis, in principle it could also be taught to beat me at WITE. But the thousands of working hours needed to do that are not available.

RE: Catch 22 - the AI

<t> The main problem, in my opinion, with WITE AI, in contrast to chess playing programs, is not about rule complexity or some intrinsic feature of the game. While during the last decades thousands of programmers have struggled to make the most effective chess evaluation algorithms and chess playing ...

This is just my opinion on National Morale and why it makes sense for the Germans to consistantly be a bit ahead. For me, it really represents the tactical level proficiency of a formation. If you look at the level it is applied at, the ...

<t> Ok, morale again…there is one thing that I do not understand yet. <br/>
