That's a good example for what I meant. In order to decide which of those option to play you have to know if you're playing against a computer (which will see the combination and mate you) or aa player (who is more likely to get blind). So you should let the computer know at hte beginning of the game... Do you think that's ethic? I think that the knowledge of the opponent's type is specially useful when playing almost lost positions. Maybe between -2.0 and -4.9 If you don't take the possible opponent's mistakes into account, you're playing with yourself and you're gonna defeat yourself, without letting a chance to your rival to blunder. If you don't decide to resign in those positions you should better think that your opponent's gonna fail some thoughts.
