That would be my judgement also, but computers have a nasty habit of finding the
one moves that saves. They do this over and over which is just incredibly
frustrating, just look at game three, who would have thought black could survive
that?

I think humans often like to setup some kind of minefield, get into positions
where the opponent is under pressure and needs to be careful not to make a weak
move. It doesn't work with computers, they will calmly find a way through the
maze, and possibly come out on the other side in a better position.

Hey no need for that language Terry, one Vincent is enough!

I generally would trust the evaluation of GM's more than computers, but having a
positional advantage and profitting from it is two different things, particular
against computers.

Me two, but a number of factors played a role here I guess, primarily he just
didn't want to lose.
