Rebel played once or twice against Yasser at Aegon and Yasser is indeed a computer killer, he simply knows how to... I have experienced in all these games Rebel played at Aegon against GM's a pattern how they do that. I was there behind the board and could see it happen with my own eyes. It's my opinion a clean Rebel (like 9.0 or even 10.0) without any extra is without a chance against a player like Anand. Since I know based on my Aegon experience how they (in general) do the all the computer killing I wrote a piece of software that tries to de-stabilize THEIR system. If they play anti-COMPUTER style I fight back with anti-GM style. What I have now is a first serious try. >Yasser is a particular handful, and he's not as much of a problem as is >Anand. I've played Anand some games, but promised to not reveal the games >nor where they were played. He is an amazing calculator. Don't sell him >short and expect complicated positions to confuse him... And Anand is in TOP condition too looking at all his latest tournament victories :( >There is no "anti-GM" strategy, other than simply playing good, solid >chess. Anything else will backfire... I do not agree with you. There is an anti-GM strategy and it is just as real as there is an anti-COMPUTER strategy. Only for us (the programmers) it is perhaps(?) a new area where we have to put in time and effort before we see the first results. That's normal with all new developments. I surely believe my anti-GM option will play better against Anand than playing without it. And I am pretty sure Hsu and co have something similar in Deep Blue BECAUSE YOU NEED SOMETHING LIKE THAT if you want to win against these giants. - Ed -
