But I don't see your point... Let's say Fritz 5 plays these ugly moves you posted. I believe you. At times it can play horribly, like all programs. Like anyone here, I could post hundreds of this kind of moves. And it wouldn't prove anything different than: programs (all) play lousy moves every now and then. Put it another way. We have the following position: 8/pQ2kp2/1p6/7R/3q4/1P2n3/P7/6K1 b - - 0 0 Programs would play either Ke6 or Kf6, and the resultant position is even. But a patzer played Kf8, and after white's Qb8+ black resigned. This patzer was Lasker playing black against Capablanca in a world championship game, 1921, as an example among very many. Human players blunder tactically much more than programs. Programs blunder positionally more than people. That's not news. Then I have no trouble believing the moves you posted. And I still fail to see your point. Enrique >Let us investigate this problem now. I think we are really coming >somewhere. > >/Mats Winther
