As black, against a computer, that is an excellent strategy.  Would you suggest
differently?

I disagree strongly.  The new style he has chosen gives him much better winning
chances.  A man can think 10 full moves later with the wall in place.  The
computer will not manage that.  They end up moving aimlessly, if you can get it
set up right.

I cannot see his mind.  I suspect you are wrong, though.  I also think he will
win a game, now that he has the right idea.  In fact, it is too bad that he did
not start out with anticomputer style from the beginning.

I think he has made the right choice.  Play anticomputer chess against a
computer.  Astonishingly, there are still a lot of GM's that don't know about
simple things like long pawn chains against computers.  I think that they will
watch these high profile matches and figure it out, though.
