If you check over games of past champions, you will see that they are always missing things which would have caused the whole game to have the opposite result. Even games which have been heavily annotated, and at the last stage of the game (not necesarily the end-game) when it is just waiting for the loser to resign, and the annotations still keep on praising the winner of his great final winning blows, sometimes the absolute opposite is the truth, and the great victor would have been suddenly smashed to pieces if he was finishing off that "victory" against a computer program. Check through these great games (and annotations) yourself, with computer. And therefore, the whoile strategy which the annotator is praising to the skies i not even proven at all by the results, when you see that the results ought to have been A LOSS. S.Taylor
