Hello Kurt!
Once I made hiarcs9 play against hiarcs8Bareiev , each with their own book
I fell asleep:it was a semislav GD where nothing happened , and it was drawn
since i made them (hiarcs9 and its clone) play the most exciting opening ,
namely Schmidt attack in Traxler variation:
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Nf6 4 Ng5 Bc5 5 Bxf7 Ke7 6 b4
against shredder7 , they lost all their games , and between them it was
exactly like a "gioco pianissimo"
never any of them launched a king attack ;
this is so more pityful that they are strong , and it is not easy to beat them
you know my taste for "brillancy" ; I can't get it ,neither with them , nor
against them
the fault is for a great part to an unjustified use of ELO as wrong as that of
IQ between eg Mozart and Einstein :
there is an ELO for GD , another for king's gambit, and mix them is to add
cabbages with potatoes
I maitain what I said : hiarcs9 is strong but dull
Friendly Yours
