If you can mate Kasparov in one move but lose on time, you bet you would say you are unlucky. Also if you miss the mate and lose in the end. >Suppose program A is very good at the opening but not good at endgames. > >In this case program A is going to miss many wins but I do not think that >program A is unlucky(it simply does not understand endgames). No, in this case it's not. But we know Tiger's strength and at least I FEEL that it is unlucky. We just differ from opinion. I think luck is always subjective, see my example from Bayern - Manchester. >I think that a program is unlucky if it outsearched the opponent only to get a >bad position that both programs understood that it is bad too late. Why call this luck then? It should recognize that the position is bad..... >2)I was not convinced that tiger could win the games. >I am interested to know if other programs can find the right moves and win in >comp-comp games in the games that you think that tiger could do a better result. Maybe somebody can try to figure this out? Enrique, Bob, Thorsten, Marcus, others: Play the position in the Diep-Tiger match and the Insomniac-Tiger match and report how Black is doing in both cases. I am very interested! Jeroen
