 yes i know the strategy exist, but what i am saying is can joroem piket repeat
this everytime????, i don't it, this is one of the few wins out of many that
humans have won against computers in the last five years, anti computer chess is
not something you can , do at will, turn it on, or turn it off, i doubt that
picket could win like this conisistently.
