This probably means he has an eidetic memory. When it is about chessprograms, most titled players use them for their analysis now. It is interesting to see how much credit top GMs give to chessprograms in their post-mortems. In case Magnus Carlsen had seen the previously played game before, it's well possible that the whole game was prepared. Of course this only applies to this game. He plays nice positional chess too, and he doesn't even play many critical and tactical mainlines all the time, but I have only looked at few games. It's nice to see a non-ex-Sovietunion prodigy for a change. In case he continues to improve it might raise more interest in chess. Peter
