15th in the world, should be strong enough opponent for program. I think the last statement sums up his concern about todays top programs. 14 Bareev, Evgeny g RUS 2707 21.11.66 M 15 Smirin, Ilia g ISR 2702 21.01.68 M 16 Van Wely, Loek g NED 2697 07.10.72 M Ilya Smirin (ELO 2702, ranked 15th in the world). 1. I consider myself the underdog. 2. In my opinion programs are extremely strong, I’d say about 2700 or even higher. 3. I don’t see a big difference between todays programs. 4. if we’d play with classical controls (much more time) my chances would increase significantly. 5. I will try to avoid open positions with a lot of tactical possibilities. 6. I will take certain risks. 7. In order to win against a program you have no choice, but to enter a tactical battle. 8. I am going to avoid any tactics except double threat, fork, winning a piece, rook or queen ; ) 9. God bless me! kburcham
