Hi!
I´ve read that chesscomputerprograms can get better if they play with good 
players, i.e. they can learn!!!
How is this (if it´s true) possible (I´m stunned over the fact that the 
worldchampion in chess is a computerprogram!!!)?
I have read that the computer remembers all the playes it has won or part of 
them (which is it??????) and forgets the playes it lost, or psrt of it. If it is 
s psrt of a game it learn from - how does "it know" who many operations back it 
should remember.
In short: can you program a computer to LEARN and GET BETTER??????
Sincerely Mikael!!
