More nonsense from sir Roger Penrose and The Telegraph

More nonsense ideas from this famous quantum-consciousness-liker. He supposed that an ability to find some regular patterns in game search graph involves some magic quantum causal powers. Well, I hope it can be done without any sasquatches and unicorns.

Have you tried any special puzzle-solving engines? Do you know some of them who can consider this position as draw?

Well, we certainly share the same opinion about Penrose. The guy just has no clue about computers, his thinking about those seems to be stuck in the seventies.

There was already a thread opened on this, in the general topics sections:

I think it fits there better, so I will lock this one, and hope everyone interested will post in the other.
