Or did he get beat by a machine that could beat his 4-year old >niece? :) Ehm he said that his Nice coul;d play better chess then the machine Donner won The programmer was Ken Thompson The game was Donner,Belle Delft/Muray Hill 1982 1.d4,d5 2.c4,c6 3.Nf3,c6 4.Nc3,e6 5.Bg5,Nbd7 6.e3,Qa5 7.Nd2,Bb4 8.Qc2,0-0 9.Be2,dxc4 10.Bxf6,Nxf6 11.Nxc4,Qc7 12.0-0,Rd8 13.a3,Be7 14.b4,b6 15.Rfc1,Bb7 16.Bf3,a6 17.Rab1,Nd7 18.a4,Rab8 19.g3?,Kh8? (Ken Thompson said that the program did see the move 19..Bxb4 after for example 20.Rxb4,c5 21.dxc5,Bxf3 22.cxb6,Nxb6 23Rxb6,Qxb6 with a plus for Black) but for some reason gave it a lower evaluation then the mainline 20.Bg2,f5?? 21.Ne2,Re8 22.Nf4,Bg5 23.Nf4,Bg5 24.Nd3,Bf6 25.f4,Rec8 26.Nd2,Ba8 27.Nb3,Qa7 28.Qe2,Rc7 29.Nbc5,Nf8 30.Rc2,Re8 31.Rbc1,Kg8 32.Bf3,Rd8 33.g4,Rdc8 34.Rc3,fxg4 35.Bxg4,Re7 36.Qa2,Rce8 37.f5,Rd8 38.Nf4,Bxd4 39.exd4,Rxd4 40.f6,Rxf4 41.fxe7,Rg4+ 42Rg3,Rxg3 43.hxg3,Qxe7 44.Qd2,h6 45.Rd1,Qe8 46.Qd6,e5 47.Qc7,Qh5 48.Rf1,Qe8 49.Qd6,e4 50.Rf4,e3 51.Re4,Qc8 52.Rxe3,h5 53.Re7,Qf5 54.Qf4,Qg6 55.Ra7,Qe8 56.Qd4,Qg6 57. Here the game was stopped there was decided no longer to use the trans atlantic conection and Olafson Vice president of the Fide decided and concluded that Donner had won Ofcourse there must be serious doubt his Nice could make it this long
