> Last >time I checked, programmers ask GM's if the moves are correct, not the GM's ask >the computers! GM Kramnik has openly stated that he "bought a very powerful computer" to help him prepare for his match against GM Kasparov. He wouldn't have done so hadn't he thought that the machine could possibly answer at least some questions for him... >All these games that Eduard wins against these engines, Eduard doesn't publish his losses, and he has openly said that he is watching the eval of his opponents during his games, a behaviour which is known to boost human strength of play by quite a noticeable amount. I remember that one player who lived in the nineteenth century in on record with having had an overwhelmingly positive score against Anderssen, but who has never been heard of as a serious contender for the position of strongest player in the world. The secret is, he also didn't publish his losses... >I am going to believe a GM (especially a super-gm) over a computer, even after >the computer looks at it for 100 hours, and the GM looks at it for 1 minute. Comes down to the position. In endgames with fewer than six pieces, I'm going to trust my computer more than the GM even if the former has looked at the position in question for merely a millisecond, while the latter has spent his life analysing that ending...
