I found his game and his "anti-computer" style very interesting. I remember at
least other 2 examples of "fortress" patterns used successfully to draw against
a computer.. in one case it was used by an international master to draw against
Fritz 5. However I would not have imagined that the "fortress" trick would work
also for 1500 players. I suggest everybody try it and report if they win against
their computers.
