Go up one level in this thread

Very nice interview.  My thanks to GM Smirin, he seemed to be very "open and
honest" with his assessment.  I think all of his comments are very telling and
the programmers and our forum should take note.  I found the follwoing points
very interesting (just fit my own interests):

1.  Computers seemed to avoid main lines.
2.  Having White is very important against a computer.
3.  Computers weak in closed positions and very strong in open positions.
4.  He found himself tired, even with the breaks and shorter time controls.
5.  He would like a rematch.

Again, my thanks to GM Smirin and to the programmers.  I hope this will be
repeated, perhaps 90 + 30.  My comp team would be Fritz, Rebel, Hiarcs, Junior
and all on the fastest single processor machines or on the fastest 4-way boxes
for Fritz and Junior.
