    Encryption implies decryption too. The "bits of matter in a quantum entangled state" need to be stored somewhere too. How does that work?

      How does this all relate to the future of chess?

        At present it's only done by live signals without storage. Data, encrypt, send, receive, decrypt, store. Based on what I just read, it's only a limited aspect of quantum cryptography, good for sending passcodes and knowing whether the code was intercepted, but not for preventing interception.

            Ken: Maybe a quantum computer could be programmed to simultaneously look at all possible moves and congeal to an optimal line, but
            A) We don't have a computer even remotely powerful enough to examine a chess game
            B) We don't have a good idea how to write that program.
            C) The invention of this computer will cause the collapse of civilization anyway so the question will become moot.

            So it's really just a wishy-washy maybe chess could be solved in the future, who knows.

              There are more than a few scientists who deny climate change, I gather; there are also creation scientists (the two types don't necessarily overlap :)).

                The climate has been changing for ever...I rather doubt there are many that deny this! What is in dispute is how significant man's activities are in the current situation..........

                  How literal/picky can one get?

                  [edit: In case anyone else doesn't know, "climate change" (especially when followed by "denier") is universally understood to connote what Mr. Hunter describes ... that's assuming he's not trolling]

                    Here's one link, for those curious about (respected?!) creation scientists:

                    http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_q...rt_creationism

                    I know, some might ask, what has this to do with the future of chess? Well, any repectability found for creation science could put a whole different perspective on the future of everything.

                      This thread needs to be re-titled.

                        Fwiw, some Google searching I did a few minutes ago gave me the following impression about the progress of computer programs at mastering various board games (ranked in level of least proficency):

                        Go (19x19): a computer program exists that's ranked at 6 dan (better than most people, not players ranked 6 dan up to 9 dan professional [highest rank])

                        Shogi (9x9): computer programs exist at level of low ranked pros

                        Chinese chess: computer programs exist that give top players serious trouble

                        Chess: strong computer programs are rated much higher than any human

                        Checkers (8x8): a solved game
