The useless and time consuming bishop maneuver Bg5-e3-f4? 4. Castling long, right into the black attack 5. The lemon a2-a3??, which gives Black a nice target After 15 moves White was already desperate. You know, in these positions the strongest programs simply look silly, using a 4,5 GHz processor or not! The point is that calculating gets you nowhere in closed positions. Even a 5000 GHz processor wil not prevent moves like a2-a3? Because this move will not lose within the next 30 plies. It seems that programmers should have 2 versions of their program: 1. A fast one to play other chess programs 2. A much slower one with a lot more chess knowledge, that can prevent games like against Kramnik and Piket. Today's game again showed that with the right human anti-computer tactics a chess program looks like a player way below 1800 Elo.... Jeroen >Can anyone tell me where Junior went wrong?
