Yes, i do agree with alot you have said! However, i'm not really convenced that the human players knowledge has increased all that much in over the board play, except in the opening! Yes, they do have some knowledge increase, forsure, in the middle game and endgame, but to say more than that would be saying that a 1900 rated player of today would be equal to a 2100 rated player of yesterday and i'm not totally convenced thats true, except maybe in the opening as i have stated before. However, both sides of the argument are interesting to say the least. Earl
