I counted on the English and John counted on 6 ... Qd7. He wanted a clear line without queen's, but was surprised by the pawn sac 6 ... Bd7!? Normally when John plays the English agaist a computer he can make moves like c4, g3, Nc3, e3, Nge2, 0-0, a3, Rb1, b4 and so on. With 2 ... Nf6 and 3 ... d5! I prevented this. After that Black is active and after 6 ... Bd7!? there was no way back. >Big tactics everywhere, and of course mankind >gets exhausted then, that he then loses an endgame with a pawn >less, probably somewhere missing a draw here or there that's no >big surprise then... The opening worked, John had to defend, Rebel was pushing and was very active, Ed rightly refused a draw offer and after some final mistakes the machine won. Deservedly so! Jeroen
