But chess is no such game. Bob, you didn't read the text of that interview. Feist said that FRITZ could not have been made so strong without a special selectivity. Now my argument goes against such myst. I say that a super GM, a Kramnik, knows of many long-range tools, other than just exchanging Q and so on. It also goes against that myst because with high select. you must oversee something by force. Something with deeper solution of course, because otherwise you (the computer) would have found it. So, nullmove, if it is presented as THE solution for superior chess, is crap IMO. It's not just the technique, it's more the propaganda myst. Rolf Tueschen
