I don't know. At least he's actually the highest rated player who assisted my
longtime theory that such show events with pre-paid money only leads to
irregular games. It's public relations if you want. Huebner gave three examples
for iredibly strange and weak play by Kasparov. Others gave the same for Kramnik
in his Bahrain show against FRITZ. The class of huebner is already the message.

Peter Berger is irrelevant for this discussion since he is nothing without his
computer analyses. Or he is someone under pseudonym. But that hypothesis is
improbable because then Peter would NOT have given this naive gxf6.

But let me analyse what you said. If a medical doctor could not "convince" you,
that you had some specific illness, you wouldn't take the medication? How do you
examine if the doctor is right? How do you examine if Huebner is correct? With
FRITZ? Peter Berger analysed with FRITZ. No wonder that FRITZ didn't tell him
why gxf6 is worse than Nxf6. Did you ever see a computer program that knew such
things? Even Kasparov failed to work with FRITZ in 1997. Uri, do you believe the
numbers on the display? +.85? Did you ever play Gambits? Have fun!

Another point. If I write a new book, a novel, I write it for myself. Not for
Uri. If Uri doesn't understand my novel, then it's Uri's prob, not mine.

Also. Analyses are never decisive. Just come into the circus and play a line
against me, Uri! But unfortunately I am a GM, rather old, but I am still playing
in several European leagues while you are just the operator of some computer
progs. I am famous in my country, in special for my analyses. Huebner is a
trademark of analysis so to speak.

If you are a kid you surely can't profit from such analyses, unless you are a
future GM! See the circle? - Pachman is dead. There is no successor yet. Huebner
is no pedagogic genius. He does all the analyses for his own fun. He expects a
certain sum of money if he should train juveniles. BTW he already did! ChessBase
reported it. And paid it.

The question is NOT if it's winning! The question is that this is the only
reasonable continuation if you want to win... So by leaving this move aside you
will draw without any doubt! Good decision for the sponsors and the computer
team from Israel. Bad decision for chess.
