i was reading This in the section on proposed computer programs. Now, it lists the time for the solving of checkers for 1 year. Could we actually solve checkers, using a distributed computer? Now, the article was written in 1972, and computers have gotten a lot faster since then.... How long would it take to solve games like checkers? From, Nice coder

Because this calcuations of movements can be done in paraller way it could be done by distributed computer (every computer analize movement of diffrent pawn)
