He would have been worse off if he'd played his "normal" game, as his first game in his 1996 match against DB demonstrated. In the last game of that match, he embarrassed the computer with anti-computer play. >Against Deep Junior 5 years later, many things have changed including software, >hardware, Gary himself has changed, and anti-computer strategies have become >more refined.

Those of us who lived through it will never forget the embarassment of Kramnik v DJ in Dortmund, when Kramnik used the stonewall to win the game so easily that for weeks afterwards, those of us who support computer chess had to wear paper bags over our heads in case anyone recognised us! :) -g >games here which show some interesting weaknesses in many strong programs >(though no one knows about the new DJ just yet except a select few). > >And if he does try anti-computer strategies, how successful do you think they >will be versus Deep Junior which seems to excel at creating situations that >require lots of knowledge to accurately assess who has the edge or the >compensation for the material sacrificed? > >What do people think? > >Roy
