Dont agree at all. It is up to the team of the program to take a risk and play for the win when behind in the match. Eventually in all recent WC-matches the player ahead played for draw to win the title. Chess is drawish. It is a big disadvantage if you have to play for the win at all cost against an equal strong opponent. Michael
