Hi Ed: I have not seen your previous post about your anti-GM approach and maybe I am going to repeat something already said by your or anybody else, but it is my impression that althought the argumets by Amir sound very good, they are radically flawed. Is not defending that a program can hold the game against a Super GM as Anand. To defend is equal to let the rival do what he wants at the rythm he wants. Sure, a normal master can make a mistake attacking, but not a SGM as Anand. I believe that in a match between Anand and Rebel 10 you should get, in a far higher level of course, what happens in a match between CSTAL and me, an expert level player, 2100 Elo. Maybe CSTAl is objetively a lot weaker than Hiarcs and Fritz 5, but against Hiarcs and Fritz 5 I have drawed many times because thet play "correctly" and let me thinks in peace. Against CSTAL it has been a lot more difficult to me because in a real game the ticking of the clock makes the difference and so as much as you are faced with one challenge after another, the moment comes or could come in which you have no any more the time necesary to grasp the weaknesses of the move and then you will commit a greater mistake. I believe attack is the motto. Never forgets this a game where time is esential. Chess is not a math problem where you have all the time of the world to find the correct solution. In chess there are sometimes many solutions and scarce time to get them. Create confusion and havoc should be the rebel 10 strategy, I think. Anyway, a lot of luck. Vaya con Dios Fernando
