One can't help but notice the difference in quality between the games played by masters from a previous era such as Lasker, Tal, Fischer, Capablanca etc. The games were so unique and singular, you couldn't help but remember some feature of the game which made it really spectacular. For instance, a Queen sacrifice or multiple piece sacrifices. By contrast, even the World Championship games of recent times have nothing distinguishing which etches them in memory. This might probably because of the closing gap between the top class players. Anyway, I was wondering how those masters would have coped with the chess programs of today. Anyone here replay the positions from some of those legacy masterpieces? One good one for example, would be the Queen sacrifice by Fischer versus Byrne. Would he really be able to carry that through against Deep Fritz or would he end up like Kramnik ... "...it could have been the most beautiful game of my life." Regards, Arshad
