He >defended very accurately in the end (but 55.Ke3 doesn't look right). I am not sure I would call 14. b4 either positional or to confuse the computer. Seems to me it is tactical and that Junior saw deeper than he did. Playing that type of move against a computer of Junior's calibre is to me simply silly. >Interesting comment: Bareev thought the computer was clearly excellent in >strategics but not so good in tactics ! Kramnik also joined in the opinion that >computers miss many tactics. Can't agree with that and I think b4 proves it. >Something to think about. > >Tomorrow Huebner.
