Y look to chess learning in same way . Even if you have just thouse bretty teachers as programms are,you must think,remember /learn it over.When somebody who says that computer auto/analysis(game over night)is good for chess understanding ,why not, You can try out.To someone who says pl/pl analyse is only to find out yours tactical mistakes-no problem!Over years y have seen some GREAT Gms Spassky,Keres,Psahhis,Tal...to Ehlvest,Shirov,OLL after games analysing.All they understand positional things dont they?The most watchful was how Tal after his play with Oll (Estonia/Latvia)analysed the game.It was wery quick, pawns were flyng ower the table!After some variation,quick take back and new variation so on and on!Thanks for nowedays PCs and pl/pl mode we can try it all!! :) Tomorrow y got to play match with young IM Kaido Kulaots 2475-the rules are:he is plaing himself,Y play with help Junior5!!(without op.books).One hour each-best of four games. With best greetings!!!R.K.
