I dont agree. Kasparov worked on this closed position, once he had it, it was to late for the program. the program played defensive moves while Kasparov was on the offensive---big difference, then too late. > >of course you can add code to your program that says: "every open file more is >good for me". but this is clearly not an objective evaluation. many times it >might just be good to keep the position closed. e.g. kaspy as white yesterday >should not play for immediate pawn exchanges with f2-f3 - which is what some >programs were suggesting on ICC yesterday, probably because of this stupid >non-objective evaluation. > >for your final point, this is what you get in comp-human matches. kasparov >blundered terribly in game 2, that was just as aggravating as what happened to >fritz in game 3. I dont agree. I follow almost every GM tournament game played that is posted on the internet. These are full of shallow blunders that a program would not make at all. I accept this. I do not accept something that can be fixed. Game 3 can be fixed. > >cheers > martin
