Kasparov – Karpov NY/Lyon match 20, 1990 [D] r2qk2r/1b3ppp/p2p1b2/2nNp3/1R2P3/2P5/1PN2PPP/3QKB1R w Kkq - 0 17 Q3 even found the move 17. Rxb7!! of Kasparov – Shirov Horgen 1994, but it changed its mind after more than 3 minutes on my Athlon xp 1500+. That was the game that Kasparov said no computer would understand the move. I’m sure there are a lot of positions that Q3 will find the key move. It’s very efficient in finding the key moves, it usually finds the key move faster than the commercial programs. But it’s a poor player when I played it against Rebel Century. It strength lies in finding outrageous moves. It’s a good alternative engine for finding deep tactical shot in a position. It’s also very helpful in exploring wild ideas. Maybe Kasparov can use it in finding novelties because I tried in some games and it was able to find the novelty moves. Maybe a little more tweaking will improve its positional play to help it play a complete game of chess. The key is to improve its postional play without affecting its unique tactical eye. But of course its very hard to do cause one adjustment will affect all the others. Just have to find the optimum. It needs a lot of experiments.
