If a GM knows you fall for a trick then he'll play it. Definitely. I'm not sure what a GM earns. When you sell tens of thousands of copies of chessprograms you can multiply this with 100 dollar a copy, from which of course others get their part too. We see clearly that in games like soccer when the salary is higher, the game gets tougher. My point is, why do guys like you Enrique still believe the opposite of computer chess? I think it quite natural what the commercials are doing, the only point i want to raise is why do so many people believe fairy tales? If you can win by cooking a line 20 times like Bob a post higher explains, then learning is also not gonna help you. If you play around 1000 games every 2 weeks (around 7 autoplayers * 14 days * 10 games an autoplayer every 24 hours; all games i get from Jan Louwman are either 1 minute or 1.5 or 2 minutes a move at K6, and 1.5 minutes a game makes up for 14 games every 24 hours, when chopping off at 60 moves), then this means you play in 1 year easily 25,000 games. That's a small subset of the tournament book, and an even smaller subset of the games you play in SSDF. So as 26,000 games are covering ALL games you possibly could play in SSDF, then i think we can talk about serious preparing against the opponents. Get the numbers right Enrique, 25000 games a year, and as versions tend to take a little longer than a year or sometimes way longer, just think of it 25000 games? >>Peter Vincent
