I believe Gulko was playing for a draw right from the start because of what happened in the Shredder game. The blame for a boreing game lies with the GM and not the computer in my opinion. Amir says the program just could not find a way to open the position and I accept that. The GM did nothing to try to win. I would not be surprised to see this as his stratagey the rest of the games.
