Fisher already replied to you but I guess he is not the fisher that you meant.

Bobby Fisher could not use computers to determine if he is correct because
computers were not strong enough in his time.


  My guess is, he still doesn't.  Last

GM's also ask the computers and kasparov said that using computers helped him to
be a better player.

I beliecve that it is the same for other super GM's.

Engines have weaknesses but in most positions they are better than humans.

I believe that engine with more time can perform better against Eduard and I
doubt if his sacrifices are going to work in correspondence games but Eduard
played against a known weakness of the programs and kasparov could not know
about specific weaknesses of Deeper blue.

Kasaprov could try nemeth's ideas but there are 2 possibilities here:

1)He was afraid that Deeper blue is going to refute his ideas by search(note
that top programs of today can find better moves against nemeth ideas at
tournament time control on fast hardware and it is clearly possible that part of
the sacrifices of him are simply losing when the programs had not enough time to
find the right defence.

2)He did not think about these ideas.

Deep Junior got 50% against super GM's in durtmond so it seems that 3 minutes of
Deep Junior is not worse than 3 minutes of the average super GM.

100 hours for one of the top programs is clearly better than 1 minute of every
human in most positions.

I like Nunn because I know that he is using comouters to check his analysis
I bought one of his books when he used computers to check his analysis and the
programs were only Genius2 or Fritz3 on old hardware.

Even at that time he admitted that computers helped him to see better moves in
part of the cases.
Unfortunately I believe that he did not use computers for enough time to analyze
the position before Be4.
