I did, one reason that it is generaly better, the other is the better play in
anti-computer-chess. Two reasons or am I wrong?

Does SMK imported any anti-human

I do understand that some people are very curious, but I can only repeat what I
saw in some games and what I read in some eMails.

Throwing away in Anti-Comp-Games or very closed positions. At the end of the
time it sometimes starts to throw pieces and lost then.

Btw: The backward analytical capacity is much better now. If you analyse a game
S9 will memorize a former position much longer then before. Pls do not ask
anything about that I have not seen the code, I just see the result which I
allredy described.
