Subject: Chessgenius Kasparov!

(with Internet translator):

I remember (however only very fade) an occurence, when the world champion at
that time Gary Kasparov was invited, into the Second Channel of German
Television Sportstudio.  That is for a long time ago.  Kasparov were submitted
in the transmission a multiplicity of positions on chessboards, and it had
guessed around which portions it acted - mind you only alone on the basis
positions on many chessboards were.  Kasparov could do all these portions by
heart!  That was one really super achievement, ingenious.  Nowadays we have data
bases, which contain some million games of chess!  The large masters of the
present study such portions, because the portions are offered each week e.g. in
the InterNet freely for the Download.  I get myself likewise each week these
portions (usually per week about 1000-2000) and study it.  I study it however
less because of possible innovations in the initial phase, but I look for
practical examples of computer chess.  For the masters however the innovations
of the opening variants are very important!  A chess master such as Kasparov can
store very many such variants in its memory, many thousands!  Now it is however
so that one also for chess programs such master portions likewise studied, and
the best become in enormous opening books stored.  In pressure format such would
fill a today's book in my room, at least a whole shelf, if that is enough at
all?  And nevertheless:  A genius such as Kasparov is able to find many more
than these unbelievably large electronic books.  A Kasparov all courses of an
electronic book, it white however which the good and the which the bad courses
are white probably not - and it selects then out!  The opening knowledge of a
Kasparov obtained thus a clearly better effectiveness, as an electronic book.
Shouldn't one appreciate such an achievement?  I think already!  Today in a
computer chess forum criticism at the opening book was practiced nevertheless by
X3D Fritz, instead of appreciating great being able from Kasparov to.  That is
very unfortunate, finds I!  You the dear reader concerns, here to find can this
portion, (3rd portion with my comment):
http://f51.parsimony.net/forum203098/messages/47.htm Fritz played with an
enormous library, in which even all portions of Kasparovs could be contained of
possible way (?).  Kasparov found nevertheless an improvement of a portion,
which is old over 50 years during the play, which were played believe it or not
in the year 1948!  I find that simply ingenious.  Unfortunately was not
appreciated, but from what white I for reasons (?), became excuses for the
computer chess program searched, which did not however only play in the opening
wrongly, but as it were each course in portion!
