Go up one level in this thread


Dear R:
Good post. It gives a good account of some psychological aspects that probably
are near truth, perhaps even they target right in the core of the truth.
Nevertheless there is another side I invite you to consider. It is this: a GM is
not a purely chessic entity playing all the time at his better level, BUT it is
a mixed entity -human, at last- where considerations like those you described
and many other more tends to be present in the average chess career of them, all
the time, with or without computers, with of without one million bucks. His
rating is the final product of all those features, of every time he felt
compassion of some weak but nice GM facing him, of every time he felt lazy and
dropped a little bit his concentration on the game, of every time he dared to
try something weird, etc. His Gm tittle encloses all that. And Fritz drawed with
all of that.
My very best
Fernando
