I watched this game and have the following observations: 1] This is an experienced GM who was not born yesterday had should have an excellent feel for when to draw and when to play on. Any Expert could see that barring a blunder on Rebel's part (What chance is there of that?), Van Wely's had no winning chances at all, and considerable chances of screwing up against this strong program which is what happened in the game. 2] What is Van Wely's motive for playing this match? Is he playing differently than he would (aside from having a computer opponent)if he were playing in a regular match with a strong GM? 3] What are we REALLY watching in this match? I hope it is a strong GM using his BEST SKILLS AND JUDGMENT to get the best score possible against this strong program? The first game does is not consistent with this hypothesis.
