I have a bad opinion about GM's analysis and I believe that the move of computers after long analysis is usually better. The main problem is the fact that GM's have no motivation to be correct in analysis because they do not get more money or better rating for better analysis. I found in the past tactical mistakes in GM's analysis because they did not use computers to help them and it proved that they do not do serious analysis in tactical positions. It leads me to suspect that they do not do serious analysis also in positional problems. I am also not sure if GM's are responsible for all the analysis and I suspect that part of the analysis was done by weaker players. Uri
