Yes you are correct, but this is exactly what needs to be done. Programs cannot win against a 2800 GM in a closed position---so we should take our chances with exchanging pawns early, open files, and let the human try to beat the GM in middle game with two or more open files. also, not against our own king---against both kings, and this is what needs to be done. If the GM can find a win with open files, then he beat the program at its best. In the third game the program has been crippled because the programmer does not understand this or does not have the ability to write the code. > > > >> >>why stage these matches when so many know what needs to be done with opening >>code?
