Dr. Hyatt, Well, I think that Capablanca would disagree with both of us if he were still alive. I would not have taken the pawn at G7 but then I am not a computer. Junior 6a made that move. I fear isolated doubled pawns when playing against machines that do thirty to forty ply searches. As you know, it only takes the loss of one pawn to lose to a computer in an open position. I play open positions because "it is me". Keep up the good work Bob, Tim Frohlick
