Szanowni Czytelnicy,

dzisiaj, zamiast standardowego opisu zawartości numeru, proponuję głębiej zastanowić się nad zjawiskiem szachowej dominacji programów komputerowych. W tym miejscu pozwolę sobie delikatnie sparafrazować słowa Janusza Zajdla z jego proroczej powieści Limes Inferior:

Oto, do czego gnamy w tym naszym beznadziejnym, ślepym, baranim pędzie. Automaty do wszystkiego! Wszystko automatycznie!

I oto nagle przytomniejemy w obliczu dylematu: jeśli jeden automat potraÞ szachować z drugim tak sprawnie, zgrabnie i na tyle sposobów, to co jeszcze, u diabła, robią ludzie na tej planecie?!

Życzę Państwu przyjemnej lektury

Tomasz Makowski
