Any comments on that? ;) > >Knut Bjørnar Wålberg Could it just be,that the silicons are guided by carbons into positions where brute force calculations does not yet reach the horizon set by strategic planning. Example,F7 in todays game against Kramnik at move 13 seem to play at a plateau of 1200 rated humans(carbons). But carbon based programmers must not guide Silicons into such positions without giving them more knowledge of how to proceed. In the above mentioned game it is unfair to assume that F7 will find a way to keep or increase its position evaluation from move 13 on. It needed at least an other 4 or 5 moves for proper guidance. So,Kramnik made mince meat out of the book makers and Kasparov may do the same. Kurt Widmann
