Even the "weak" engines would do that. The King's Indian is the one of the best openings against computers, provided that you know how to play it. Game 2 was not a Kingsindian. It was a Ruy Lopez. > >It seems a mistake to play an opening where the normal computer moves are also >the strategically correct moves. The white strategy in the KI is not only about the advance of qeenside pawns. White also has to sacrifice some of these pawns later on in order to open up the position on the Qeenside. Computers often can't understand that. Instead they make some useless moves and get mated. > >Hence, find something else and not KI.

Uri? Uri recommends c6,d6. Unfortunately Kasparov does not like to play a passive position. Kasparovs opening preparation was reasonable. If such terrible mistakes happen you will always lose against computers, regardless of which opening has been played. Michael > >Bob D.
