I actualy tell this because i am working on the positions from the book sacrefices from Vucovic it is in dutch and is called offers >>Hardware has grown to the point that for less that $2000 >>anyone can have a duel system over 800mhz.

How can anyone be bored by excellence? It's mediocrity that I find >boring. Computers are in some cases far from GM strenght How can you otherwise explain the usage of epd files. I am telling this because I am curently overlooking the positions from the book offers (sacrefices) from Vucovic It takes quite some while before the programs find the compensation and then it is to late. At the moment computer programs do find these sacrefices they realy are from GM strenght Most of the time it is so that these sacrefices do increase the development and most of all which is important for programs the valeu of the advantage. Which over comes many draws. Then again when this is acomplished programs realy become unbeatable for humans Aslong as you overcome the problem of pre knowledge.
