This game was not meant to show a win a tournament style time controls, but to show an example of how computers can misplay this position. It was not played under fair conditions, so to say. I am not very hopefull in beating crafty on my Athlon 1000 because I am only a 1200 player and I doubt there are positions where crafty actually plays that bad. I do not believe craftys plays this position significantly better at longer timecontrols based on what I have seen on ICC and the simple fact that crafty contains a lot of code to avoid these positions because Robert knows it cannot play them. >It seems that one of your weaknesses in chess is playing unsound sacrifices. > >11.Bxh7+ is a mistake in this game. Possibily. I was afraid that the bishop would be shut in so I used it to weaken craftys kingside before that happened. I am pretty sure it was not sound but it did not prevent me from 'winning' the game. The game vs the amateur program was played in fair conditions and it lost (read that as: it walked into mate before I messed up) in a very similar way. -- GCP
