Dan can you please elaborate on your opinion. Please explain further.

Can you give some examples of what you are refering to.

I posed this question in another thread, GM vs program in tactical positions.
All I got was some shallow answers, and empty general statements, except for
Vincent, he had a good reply.

Could you be more specific. Are you saying that a GM in a given position can see
a winning move when a program might not?
Are you saying that a GM in certain posiitions will make the right move, and a
program will not. Can you give an example of a specific game where a GM made a
tactical move, that one of my programs cannot find or takes too long to find?

Or maybe you might already have some positions that you know a human can
tactically see, that one of my programs cannot see or will take too much time to
play.
