Andy Solitis devotes this months "Chess to Enjoy" article about Chess and
Computers

there are several memorable quotes in it, my favorite being..

"Garry Kasparov relied so much on cyber-backup in checking over the games of
Mikhail Tal,et al,that a computer seems to be the main co-author of My Great
Predecessors II"

:))

he raises an interesting issue
namely that in todays professinal chess world, analysts now consider that there
are two kinds of "Best Move" when analysing a game for publication,depending on
who the opponent is.

if the opponent is a computer then the best move would be somnewhat safe and
void of deep tactical possibilites
where as if the opponent is flesh and blood the best move would be that move
which offered the opponent many chances to go wrong .

interesting stuff

Best
Steve
