Fruit often refutes an unsound atack from great >attackers like Junior or Shredder (like in the WCCC). "Sceptical" is a nice description. Tal played (very) interesting chess, although his sacrifices might have been dubious at times. Todays examples might be Shirov or Vaganjan, or Morozevich. An analogy could be: Fruit=Leko Junior=Morozevich. And now and again the sceptic might have it wrong...

Personally I get more thrills watching Shirov's and Moro's games than watching Leko's. > >kind regards > >Joachim Rick (The game is from the match held by C. Koch. See CSS Forum)
