Sensible guess, but I believe it would depend on Leko's ability to grasp the "mind" of the program. I suspect if he took such a study very seriously, he would win. Last year, I saw an exhibition game (60/0) between Shredder and Werner Hug. Hug is a former Junior World Champion and such a devoted drawmaster that he never became GM. The way he built his strategic position was what I would expect from Leko: [Event "SUI vs SHREDDER"] [Site "Biel SUI"] [Date "2002.07.29"] [Round "4"] [White "Hug,W"] [Black "DEEP SHREDDER"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [WhiteElo "2461"] [EventDate "2002.07.26"] [ECO "D02"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c3 d5 3.

I thought this was exactly the way to take a program apart. However... 28. -, b6 ! Who woulda thunk it! An absolutely inhuman move if you ask me. But what follows is a forced line at the end of which only Black has winning chances. Operator Stefan Meyer-Kahlen graciously offered the draw. (I have no suitable prog to check, so if I'm missing something, please correct me. No hardware info either, sorry!) Regards, G.M.
