Again, is a matter of definitions of the words. When you lesson a chord by Mozart and one by any other lesser music of the time, you could see, in the score, such tiny diffrences in the use of notes that are almost not apparent, but from them emerges a whole world of difference. In the realm of chess competition a 2300 is wholly inferior to a 2500; nevertheles, if you look carefully his games you will see, many times, that that abysm was a matter of just two or three moves where the GM got the very best and the IM only the second best. Chess has this universal condition that tiny tings makes a big difference. The buterfly effect, I would say. I have an experience of that in my own games agains top programs. They usually beat me not because I could be a wholy inferior player, but because of, usually, one slip of the pen, a second rate move, perhaps a minor tactical mistake. That's enough to produce a heavy differece in the output, once and again. Little, sometimes, is the biggest thing in the Earth. My best Fernando
