Hi Jonas,

err... tricks ? Is anti comp a trick and no chess ??? How to win if you are
forbidden to show the weak sides of your opponent ? When J. Carlos might play 3.
... h5 after your given line do you claim him that he uses anti comp "tricks" -
I don't see even any trick in playing h4 against the Tigers as they first arrive
at the chess servers - That was totally okay from my point of view - if they
lack to play after that move Christophe has some work to do... and they get
after that their rating they deserve - I was absolutely not agree with some ICC
members which refuses some opening lines when using Tiger as an opponent.

to show who is the master and who not ??? I believe totally in the fact that
when GMs & IMs would start studying certain tactics for playing against humans
because that would be in some way interesting to earn the money in their live
comps would fall in comp - human events some 200 ELOs down - or even more. But
let us not start a new thread with "are top programs GMs ?" :) Really nobody
wants to see that again... :)
