I explained my point that Nunn selected a bunch of testset positions where the plan and strategy is completely 10 levels too high for computers to ever understand (especially at the time he selected them), so i made a general statement then that Nunn doesn't know what computerchess is at all, especially when we look to how computerchess programs work, this is hardly understood even till today by grandmasters. I can understand why, but if a reaction to a posting in this area is just intended to start a reaction from my side which has *nothing* to do with computerchess, then it's obvious it is off-topic.
