Maybe Tim means something altoguether different to the usual defeat that program inflicts to GM. I mean, I have seen many program, like you has, getting a pawn and then winning the game in the bore style usual in fast games where tactical mistakes are in the order of the day, but perhaps, PERHAPS this new engine do something more, say, really crush the guy from beginning to end. Anyway, it is something to see. At least I can imagine that the kind of kicking inflicted by this Tiger should be very different to that given by, say, old good Genius. And nevertheless both are sort of kickings givers.Well, let us see.. If Tim send the game, maybe we could have a better judgement about this Fernando > > > >> >> >>On October 03, 2000 at 17:00:38, Sune Larsson wrote: >> >>>On October 03, 2000 at 16:42:17, Enrique Irazoqui wrote: >>> >>>>On October 03, 2000 at 16:32:14, Timothy J.
