Go up one level in this thread


here are some reasons:
many closed positions where players search for a long-term strategic advantage
that (in the past) could not be recognized by an engine.
the kinds of end-games which resolved these postitions were not understood by
engines (pre egtb).
in the mid-ninety's hiarcs3 could achieve a winning eg (kpr v kr)against an
average/strong KID player which could esult in draw for black as HIARCS was not
technically resolving the tabia.
