hi Djordje,
coincedently i was just sitting down to relax,
randomly checking posts and going over the first game in chess informent #2.
bronstejn v flesch,Szombathely.
using winboard with ruffian105 for analysis i was amazed at how many moves
ruffian choose that where also the choice in the game.
some times very many in a row.
to say that a human strong in tactics is copying fritz is a compliment and not
necessaraly proof of any thing.
just grab a informent your your favorite book of games and peruze them
with your pet engine.
in games between strong gms good software picks there move quite often.
regards
mike
