And I am sure that you would not follow your own guide lines if you had to fight for your life. We_know_ for sure that the position was bad for Black. The point is that we have two factors in favor of Black. 1. Kasparov never played such a nonsense position against such a strong defender 2. Kasparov played the game in a show event so that he tried to help the sponsor side intentiously or unconscieously. That is the reason why show events have no validity I know for sure that would give a fortune if you knew how to implement more knowledge in your program. :) Rolf Tueschen
