I think that brilliant sacrifices and brilliant positional moves by GMs are (possibly) nearly equalled by brilliant deep tactics found by computers. The method of play is a bit different. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Give LCT II to your favorite computer on tournament time controls, and you will see the weaknesses clearly. On the other hand, GMs also miss brilliant strategic moves and sacrifices. I think that probably "advanced chess" is the strongest form of chess, because the computers will spot the deep tactics and the humans will see the positional moves and sacrificial moves. At any rate, I think computers play strong and interesting chess -- similar to GMs in strength although with a contrasting style. Eventually, computers will see deep sacrifices and positional moves. Probably sooner than anyone thinks (except for those that think they can already see them). ;-)
