A nice win by Gelfand. [D]3k4/2pP2b1/3p2P1/1K1P1BP1/8/8/8/8 w - - id Gelfand,B - Ye Jiangchuan; bm Kc6; In the game Gelfand played Kc6 and Ye Jiangchuan resigned. The winning technique as explained on Kasparov's site explains that white's bishop must go to either a4 or e8, allowing the white king to penetrate via the f5 square. Both work nicely, yet it made me wonder if computer programs will discover this winning technique. How do programs fair here? The theme of first protecting the d7 pawn with the king, then with the bishop(on a4 or e8), and finally marching the king around to the kingside may prove difficult for programs.
