Subject: Computers Still Lack Imagination ...

Here is the game that I won this past week on the internet...

1.f4 e6 2.Nf3 d5 3.d4 c5 4.e3 Nc6 5.Bb5 Bd7 6.0-0 a6 7.Bd3 Qb6 8.dxc5 Bxc5 9.Qe1
d4 10.e4 Nh6 11.h3 0-0-0 12.Kh1 Rde8 13.Na3 Bxa3 14.bxa3 f5 15.e5 g6 16.Bd2 Qa7
17.Rb1 Kd8 18.Ng5 Ref8 19.Ba5+ Kc8 20.Bb6 Qa8 21.Bc5 Re8 22.Rb6! Kc7 23.Qb1 Kc8
24.Bd6 Nd8 25.Bxa6 Bc6 26.Bb5 Bxb5 27.Qxb5 Nc6 28.Rb1 Nd8 29.Qc4+ Kd7 Tunroc
abandonne  (Lag: Av=0.82s, max=1.5s)[29...Nc6 30.Nxe6 Qa5 31.Rxc6+ bxc6 32.Qxc6+
Qc7 33.Qxc7#]  1-0

The way I see it...

Most computer progtams (at move 22) will play Qh4..? when I played Rb6...! and
seized control of the  open b file and won!

That is because computers still lack "imagination" and still cannot "make a
plan" for a winning position and attack at move 22...etc.

Moving the Queen to the wrong side of the board wins the knight, but
does not attack the King...etc.
