Since that means forcing too much the game of chess out of its roots...remember that chess is enriched by tactics play , avoiding at any cost this kind of play means to miss all the magnificent combinations made famous in the past by great combinative players like Tal, Steinitz ,etc. I tend to agree with GM Huebner that said after his match against Fritz in Dortmund that it is not necessary to betray one's style at any costs when facing the machine. >It will be interesting, IMHO, to watch the race: GMs improving this new skill as >the years go on (the best ones probably can't improve their traditional chess >skill very quickly any more), versus computers getting faster and "smarter." And don't you think that also comps. are progressing meanwhile (antihuman techs) ? w.b.r. Otello
