Hi Fernando,

I read in previous messages posted by you that usually you lose late,
I mean that your critical problem migth not be opening neither is the
middlegame. Thye critical problem is phisical tiredness linked to the lack of
endgame skills.
That reminds me that in russian books they say we learn chess with a wrong
methodology. We start with openings and middlegames and refuse to study
endgames.
Russian wont do that. They begin studying endings and then when they have the
elements of playing with few pieces they study tactics.

And programs calculate faster with fewer pieces, so it is difficult to beat them
unless you caugth them in thematic endings like fortress or the same (the
anti-computer applied to endings :) ).

In reality anticomputer strategy is only the grouping of specific weakness found
by essay and error. We can do that with our computers, but we could do the same
if we have a friend hard to learn and available to play hundreds of games. After
hundreds of games you begin to put together the elements of bad play you had
glanced and that's it.
