(And now most are gone.) Even most losses against humans could have been avoided if they would have done that. And by this mather not even the comercial books are strong enough. Like I witnesed in the last Human machine matches. Which came straight from these analyzes. Which now is called Theory and for that reason i Also did send most analyses to club Kasparov. Who did recognize the valeu. They only pity thing is that I never did get credit for it. Marc
