This afternoon, this dream lies Note that yesterday only Loek was winning all the game. He blew it in the far endgame because he wanted to win too fast. he should have kept king on g7 then wait for rebel to make mistakes and then win with the 2 strong Bs. Today was a superb show of Loek how you can beat *any* program. Loek is not playing rebel specific at all. he just shows his 2700 and his incredible will to win even if it is dubious. that last was punished. It is however not specific anti computer play which Loek shows. He showed in both games strategical to be the better guy. >in tatters - with only the prospect of further humiliation from LVW to come. > >Credit where credit's due though - it was valiantly brave of Ed to have a go at >this. > >-g > >[D]4b3/8/4p1k1/1pKpPpP1/1Pp2P2/2P1P3/4B3/8 b - - 0 48
