well just another GrandMasterBlunder. i have posted here several times about GMB games. i get a lot of replies defending the GM. some of the replies leave the subject, and want to get personal, come said "how long you been playin chess boy". in all these GMB posts i was trying to discuss this issue. just analyze GM losses against comps. in lots of them, the eval will stay close to 0. they can hold these pieces of art to an eval of 0. andres held the eval close to 0 for 24 moves. amazing play. these guys are the best in the world. GM are the strongest we have in this sport. go to any chess server, and watch lots of GMs games. then analyze them with a program. in lots of them the score will stay close to 0, then it happens, the GM death move,,,the dreaded GMB. in this case the score jumps over 3 points with this andres GMB. in all of these GMB games, that lots of people here carry on about, something has to be decided. these are getting more common, because it seems more games are GM vs comp. the first thing we need to do is come up with a new chess term, GMB. this stands for a new issue the chess world will have to deal with from now on, GRANDMASTER BLUNDER. (please dont tell me they have been blundering since the cave man). the GMB will only get worse. with hardware improvements, more kns, improvements in the programs, we will see this GMB more often. and as each GM analyses his fellow GMB in each game, this will also effect his attitude for the next game. the GMB will increase every year. so---when these GMB happen, what are all of these chess people going to say, what comments can be made about the strength of a program, when there is a 3-4 or 5 point GMB in the game. are you going to use words like "crush", "killed", "stomped", "didnt have a chance". well i already realize we are going through a time period here, when the programs are playing on a GM level. yes the programs need improvements. king side attacks, openings, etc. we all know them. they are disscussed here regularly. but as far as i am concerned we are there. an IM that is very strong at one of the chess servers, has in his notes "if you are a comp, dont match me, i hate chess comps". he probably had several GMBs against comps. i think once we see these GMB games, we need to say "well here is another GMB". we can discuss these GMB games, but these GMB games are here to stay, and are going to get worse. ok, so now i agree with some replies to my posts. that GMs blunder often. now i realize this. i will look at the GMB different. i just am not sure about the best in our sport blundering so often. and i will not offer an ice cold beer to the artist that created a program that wins against a GMB. i will not jump up and down over a GMB game. i think when openings and early kingside attacks are improved in the programs, we will see the GM less willing to play programs in tournaments and at the servers. it is amazing chris and these programmers keep finding improvements to their programs. sometime in the future, guys like me will quit buying chess programs and improving hardware. the comp games will become only draws. happens all the time now. oh well GMB to ya.
