Hi Peter
A fantastic example you have mentioned here. Of course do I own
a copy of Chess System Tal II and I know from my experience that
it is a much harder task to get a draw vs the unsteady playing CST II.
On the other hand I agree with you, it is more likely to also win a
game in situations where CST II has followed a completeley wrong path.
