I have drawn a number of games against human masters, down a piece with little or no compensation whatsoever. Earlier posts about true sacrifices might be related to this topic, and I apologize in the unlikely event that I am duplicating an old discussion. I think current programs are particularly bad at having a chance at swindling to save completely lost positions. If there's any interest, I can post two games where I was down a piece, a) I further sacked an exchange, so I'm down a rook; then I exchange my queen for his 2 rooks and a knight..eventually I wind up with a mate in one using a rook, bishop, and knight against his queen and bishop...which I miss in time trouble. b) I sack another piece for some pressure, all along I am dead lost, so this game score would be an embarrassment to the FIDE 2250+ master to post... He blunders, and I have a won position, which I promptly turn into a perpetual mate due to time pressure. Sorry, I guess I should just post the games already...but there's really no way in the next 20 years you'll see programs finding effective swindles against humans... That would be a true sign of Artificial Intelligence, IMMHO.
