Hi Odell: Although I cannot care less about anticomputer strategies because I purchase chess programs to plays CHESS, not to apply some kind of recipe to win a game similar to chess, I know that the so called anticomputer strategy consist in blocking the center, foster a close position everywhere except in the king side and in that sector to push an slow attack on the computer king. All this can be got with some specific openings, Colle system by example. For me all that is sheer nosense. Which is the need to beat the beast using, for that, a narrow technique that neccesarily rest pleasure and variety to the game? I can understand a player, in a tourn, looking for specific ways to win his opponents, but in an isolated and unimportant game played for fun, it is self defeating, a system to substract the very reason you got a program. Why? Because you bought it to play and get fun or you bought to train for getting a best play againts human, so again you need to play real, clasic chess, no anticomputer recipes. Well, there is people for any kind of tastes... fernando.
