He sees no >danger because mating threats are behind his horizon. What value is this...dumbing down a computer program so someone can post a "Dream game" seems silly. Are we going to be wow'ed by this....I think not. If Fritz 8 plays this way with standard time controls this would have some value. This is nothing more then a time blunder by Fritz 8 because of the fast time control and the very slow computer that was used, not a flaw in the program. Can anyone produce a game where Fritz 8 plays this way at 3 mins. a move. >Here are the lines in my little book: > >1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.Bc4 Nc6 4.a3 Nf6 5.Bd2 Nxe4 6.Bxf7+ Kxf7 7.Qh5+ Ke6 8.Qg4+ >Kd5 9.b4 Ne5 10.c4+ dxc3 11.Nxc3+ Nxc3 12.Qh3 Na4 [12...Nb5 13.Bf4 d6 14.Rd1+ >Kc6 15.Rc1+ Kb6 16.Qe3+ Ka6 17.a4 b6 18.Qe4] 13.Qb3+ Ke4 14.g4 Nd3+ [14...Nxg4 >15.f3+ Ke5 (15...Kf5 16.fxg4+ Ke5 17.Nf3+) 16.fxg4 d5 17.Nf3+ Kd6 18.Bf4+ e5 >19.Nxe5 Ke6 20.Qxa4 Bd6 21.0-0 Bxe5 22.Rae1] 15.Ke2 Ke5 16.Nf3+ Kf6 [16...Kd6 >17.Rhc1] 17.g5+ Kg6 18.Nh4+ > >mainline is a perpetual check. >You probably can win if you play a 5+2 min game on Athlon XP 2000+.
