If this would be the case nothing has improved by that time i have proven over
and over again positions which are won in all cases
Only by being a litle more patient by recapture and changing of pieces
and positinal improvements


Then again I showed winnings where programs all the time thought they had a
clear advantage

The problems of todays programs is that they don't know how to play solid chess

Or how to create counter play

And counter play beats defence in most cases

Actualy a fun part on Junior7 is that i was anelyzing some varition of the
clasical Kings Indian and it starts to freak out now every time in comes in the
same sort of position (for the record when I was playing with the White pieces
there for it later on did not play for counterplay rather for defence)
I also saw that most books stoped at a bad point in some variations Which
program play move like Ng6-h8 Nh8-f7 (It looks like moves from Petrosian or
Botvinik)
A computer program with nervs hehe

Many times this very sharp positions arise in this opening and also a human can
be fooled by it
Just look at the games played by Eduard Gufeld
At the moment you think it is all over for Black
Black starts a winning attack
That's the beauty of this opening


Not to bring it in discredit because i like the program


I actualy would like to ask you guys if you look at my anelyses can you give it
a typical style?
