Subject: Assumptions of fallibility/infallibility

Go up one level in this thread

An interesting situation!

On the one hand, if you assume that your opponent is infallible (e.g. HAS the
EGT), you will want to avoid the EGT situation.

On the other hand, if you assume that your opponent might be fallible (i.e. does
not have the EGT) you could go - as you did with the hard-to-win 'EGT' situation
in preference to the other.

If an 'infallible opponent' would also win the non-EGT situation, maybe it is a
'no brainer' situation but certainly one where you have to override the
computer's automatic avoidance of lost EGT-positions.
