Black fiddled while Rome burned. objectively, i disagree completely: 1) the early ...a6 was played by kasparov himself in his infamous loss against huzman earlier this year. 2) i don't know what "f4" move you are referring to. that was never played by either side... 3) isolating the a5 pawn is *not* a problem as long as you know what to do afterwards. e.g. in the french winawer, white often goes a4, and black can always go and gobble that pawn. in return, white pushes his entire kingside down the board and has more than enough compensation. GM yermolinsky was saying that he actually liked black's position after 10 moves. he believed that black had good chances with such a kingside pawn advance. but....: of course, fritz had no idea that it had to do that, so in a way you are right - getting into this interesting position was equivalent to losing for fritz. but it has nothing to do with the objective evaluation of that position. i was already surprised that they chose ...a6 - that often leads to such closed positions. i've asked this before, but i don't remember getting an answer: how good is mr. kure at chess? cheers martin
