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
