I wonder if the missed opportunities of Van der Wiel will adversely effect his play in the next round? Sometimes it is not easy to shake off the disappointment one feels when missing a win. Being a strong professional Gm he probably will come out swinging. Here of course computers have an edge in the energy level they bring to each game. Their programmers probably make up for the machine's non existent feelings. How is Ed's health holding up after this one? Maybe paramedics should be on standby? :) Another thought on the match so far, if the two games were reversed, in that Rebel missed winning chances, would we be as forgiving? In other words are our expectations of computers too high? Van der Wiel's uncanny technique of exchanging down into advantageous positions continues, as it did in many of his past games against computers.
