I enjoy playing over these games with strong human opposition. We often hear
how programs have this or that weak spot and that strong humans will exploit
that. What about all the strong points of a chess program? Here, as in the last
Century - Russek encounter, the chess program struts it's stuff. Give them an
opening and with their strength of seeing all within their horizon they can
quickly rule the board.  I know,
stating the obvious, but having clear vision within a given depth is a strong
plus for any chess player.

We all know
that the long range feel for a position is lacking in computers but not all
chess games follow that path. I recall the writings of the chess teacher Kotov,
and how he explained through example the thinking of players during these kinds
of games - just a series of short sequences being adequate to build up a strong
position.
