Again I mention the game Nimzowitsch-Alapin No program finds the move Nd4!! By it self It gives after capture or not capture inmidelatly the way how to win. Is still has to do something with the computers horizon Or maybe finding out what is more important in certain positions Though in last 5 years computers became better in Tactics these positions are still a problem. But Chess programs are not good in sacreficing material maybe it would help if the mate search is improved imagine they find a mate in 20 in a normal position This realy could change the way program play But I think in the game of Alapin and some other position you might say that programs also have more trouble to finding the best tactics when the otherside has not castled yet.
