I forgot to mention the role of the chess program(s) On TV Matthias Wuellenweber was asked for Fritz evaluations from time to time. At the same time I used other Chessbase engines and Rebel for analyzing crucial positions. In general Fritz as well as the other programs judged positions well, in some cases perhaps even suggesting better tactical moves than were played. At the same time it was obvious how the prgrams struggeled to evaluate strategical positions correctly. For example they couldn't resist to propose 13. Bxe4?, winning a pawn and getting terrible long term trouble on the white squares. I am convinced that such a move would lead to a terrible loss against a strong human player. Most engines/programs were good enough to see some positional compensation for black after taking on e4, but not enough (with varying degrees from program to program) On the other hand the programs found the strong move 20.f6 nearly immediately while the GMs were seriously debating the rather weak alternative 20.Bf4. Typical human: protect your pawn before considering the tactical possibility of indirect protection by sharp attack... Perhaps some of you can comment on how your programs judged the crucial positions and if they find strong alternatives or blunders... Kind regards from Dirk
