I do not believe that he could win against another IM The truth is probably that pachman did not care much about the position because it was only part of his book and not part of his game. GM's often do not care about correct analysis because nobody pay them for correct analysis. GM's usually care more about their games because a mistake in games may cost them money. Uri
