I take it you have not seen Eduard's posts where he has defeated many commercial
programs more than once.

Everyone knows, if chess programs were  positional skilled as they are tactical,
we probably wouldn't have the "are computers GM strength" questions flying
around here all the time.

And that is how Eduard consistantly defeats them, gets them into a position were
it is too difficult for them to figure out what's REALLY going on.
