I have been quite informative about what anti-GM is and how the idea was born. I will add some more (positional based) examples to my home page soon. Bottom line, strong chess players try to find out the weak parts of a chess program. It has a name, it's called "anti-COMP" play and if it is done properly your (my) (all) program(s) are in deep trouble. "Anti-GM" is a first try to shoot back. It's my opinion every chess program needs such a piece of software at least if you want to compete in the GM area. If I can convince you that the latter is true then I have given you already 50% of the solution. - Ed - >bruce
