Which counts for all programs is indeed that computers will not sacrefice material to buil up a position (Phildor's stament counts here pawns are the soul of chess) Remembering the anelyses I posted from the Queens gambit 7.Bb3 line Where White sacreficed an exchange to build up it's pawn formation? No program will find such a move and by this Kramnik is right a GM will find these kind of moves. There are other examples of this I many times did point back to the game Nimzowisch-Alapin French defense This was not for nothing this points out the weaknes in computer programs for real. Curently I make many anelyses and still find out that indeed most programs find out there standing worse when it already is to late Again this points back to the game Nimzowisch-Alapin An other way I found out this weaknes when I made programs play the Power chess king. I actualy also have written some chess lessons They have to be readed in an other order then till now Under the 8 positional max of the opening Normaly 4 is link the rooks 5. is find a good place for the queen Ofcourse this is not possible there for Find a good spot for the queen (or try to create one for instance by preparation with a6 in the Sicilian Defence) And the Middle game 1 Material 2 the positions of the kings Also a bad statement What is material when the next move is mate? 1.The positions of the kings 2.Material
