This post is for Mr Slug.

Chessmaster has come up with a seeming novelty(Actually just extremely rare
courtesy of L. Tamarkin my 5 mill datab didn't have it at all) in the move
8...d6,  Though Nimzo98 has in book 9.f4 as a response.  There are a few games
in million base (18 games) with 8...d6 played but they all miss the important
point of 8...d6 which is to follow up 9.Nb5 Ne5 10. Nxc7 with the brilliant
Bh3!.

This thread was slightly lost because of various other arguements and Mr. Slug
found it interesting as I.  For further comment refer to the thread.  I guess it
is so interesting in that the move almost seems like an intuitive
sacrifice(10...Bh3) though of course that's just assigning human qaulities to
comps :).

"Hi: I'm really disappointed in this unfortaunate long running thread, which is
occurring because 1 guy resigns, and another just leaves.  I was really looking
forward to continued speculation about make believe matches between the chess
programs against Jon Schroer, and some Brilliant move that CM6000 keeps coming
up with.  But I guess we won't be talking about any of that for a while, because
all of this Bull-Shit is going on!"
