In many books it says that at any given moment, there is one best move. (not counting situations where the order of the movement of pieces does not affect the outcome of a combination).
I would assume that the move Chessmaster 10 does is probably the best, or extremely close to being the best when the program isn't hurrying.
So I set up a game where the CH plays itself. Almost every time, one side wins, (sometimes they draw).
Now, let's say you get a super computer to play itself (one capable of looking 50 moves ahead, which is virtually impossible). Would the game always result in a draw? If not, then one side made a move that wasn't the best at one moment. If this is true, and let's say that after some official opening, than every move both sides did is the best, if one loses, then the mistake was in the opening.
So here's something interesting to think about, what's is greater an advantage, white's first move, or blacks chance to answer wisely to whites first move so that from:
