Subject: A Strange Game

Go up one level in this thread


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.
