That is not the >exact quote but the meaning is close to what Karpov was saying. > While analyzing for half an hour, both Rebel10 and Crafty 16.0, both believed to be tuned against humans, prefer Qg6, and one move later Bh3. Rebel10 (on my K6/200) after 34s on ply 8, while preferring Qg4 before, and Crafty 16.0 after 6m30s at ply 10, preferring Bh3 before from ply 8 and 30s. Is it really such a novelty, or are both moves Bh3 and Qg6 about the same strenght? (as I believe so far) Ernst-Jan
