     The way Petr Kiriakov played this game was fine. It was not
     a classical anti computer playing style. The GM cannot be
     blamed for the wrong opening choice (Kings Indian) of Shredder8
     I think. But the game proved once again what I have already
     mentioned many times: if GM's/IM's and even much lower rated
     players use a boring style, it will hardly be possible for programs
     to win a single game but computers will lose from time to time
     and the ratings of chess programs will drop be 200-300 Elo.
     But playing this way is very dangerous: it ruins the playing
     style of the humans -:) so that human players will most probably
     have much less success in the normal tournaments.
