Eduard played and played against >Fritz until he found a sequence of moves that he could use to consistently beat >Fritz. I know. I used to play alot against certain programs (not as strong as today's, but still, way beyond what I could defeat casually) until I found a beautiful sequence which the computer would lose to, if it chose that sequence. I could therefore repeat it frequently. If that is the case, then I can theoretically believe that poster. But I don't think it is all that easy to work that out either, with todays top machines. Eduard Nemeth, perhaps! S.Taylor
