I'd be interested, what your opinion is from watching these ICC GM games: What
is the most important, or most often successfully used anti-computer strategy?
Is it

a) avoiding tactics and using superior positional knowledge
b) following long-term ideas or plans, which the computer fails to understand
c) preparing for a king attack slowly, and the computer defends too late
d) looking for a transition into a better endgame, or
e) something else (?)

Thanks,
