This has nothing to do with "the game". It is simply about having watched lots of Fritz games, and lots of DT/DB games. > >Is it so clear to know when sacrificing a pawn for a king attack works and when >white can stop the attack and wins thanks to the pawn advantage? A deep search, + a good evaluation can do this. Whether DB could do this in every game is unknown and not very likely to boot. But that it is probably better at doing it than the current micros is a pretty sure bet, as I watched lots of "attempted attacks" fail in the various demos I saw played. > >I am not sure. > >> >> >> >>> >>>I also found that Deep Fritz could avoid the drawing mistake of Deeper blue in >>>game 2 and the same for Junior and Tiger so claims that the evaluation of Deeper >>>blue was different do not convince me. >> >> >>Evaluation has _nothing_ to do with detecting a draw.

I don't believe it at all. It might "evaluate" that Kh1 is better than Kf1, but not for the _right_ reason (that Kf1 leads to a horrendously deep repetition draw). No program of today will see that repetition. Try forcing Kf1 and seeing if it then realizes that Black can repeat. > >It does not need to understand that Qe3 gives black a draw but only needs to >understand that Qe3 gives black better chances when after Kh1 black has no Qe3. That does not compute, to me. The queen at e3 is not particularly meaningful in most positions. So it has to see the _reason_ that the queen reaching e3 is good here. And it can't. It might not like the queen that centralized, for general positional reasons, of course. But that doesn't mean that it is playing Kh1 for the right reason in this position. > >Deeper blue did not see it and played Kf1. > >Uri
