You are right, I call those situations my personal romantic stories about the fascination with the performance of computer programs. On my website I have "my version" of the famous Saavedra position and the link to the "real story" by Tim Krabbé [D]8/8/1KP5/3r4/8/8/8/k7 w - - 0 1 My old Kasparov Turbo S-24K wasn't able to solve it, and I was proud that men were so superiour that *they* could solve what no computer can - could :) as the mystique has disappeared when any program now tells me in less than a nanosecond it's a mate in 25 (or so) and even without TB's solves it in the blink of an eye. Now this well known position is my favourite, both for black to move and for white. It's both about the wrong assesment of the score as well as the wrong moves both sides will make when played by the computer. [D]7r/1b1k4/4p1p1/rp1pPpPp/pPpP1P1P/P1P5/4K3/8 w - - 0 1 and [D]7r/1b1k4/4p1p1/rp1pPpPp/pPpP1P1P/P1P5/4K3/8 b - - 0 1 Eventually our programming techniques outgrow even this problem. What will be left for me then? :)) J
