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. If Loek keeps on playing with these skills then be aware! But he should have gone for a Sicilian against e4 and a Kings Indian against d4 Which are positional and tactical The first part still is in the favour of the Human player. it is more his style and secondly more winning chances and more intresting. If the oponent is a computer or a human doesn't realy matter. I don't believe in the so called anticomputer strategy (Then 1.g3 would be !! Which is not the case!) Because it then also should work against humans. Chess is chess . Regards Marc van Hal
