This was obvious very early - like when he as 15 year old declined an early draw offer from GM Bagirov - and went on to win it in 27 moves! Bagirov was very upset afterwards, and the following loss in the blitz tournament didn't exactly make things easier... This happened 1997. And the point with these games vs top programs is exactly to test his normal way of playing. He is very talented in tactics - but that's the home ground for computers... It's also interesting to see that Emanuel is on his way to be a GM by: a) always playing 1.e4 - and never Ruy Lopez... b) always playing French/Dutch as black c) never studied much from books. But everybody knows these things, so he's experimenting with some (for him) new openings. Ruy Lopez will probably never happen since there is too much theory on this opening...;-) Sune
