Hi Jonas, > Post some of your wins with standard time control (where the computer gives > up or get's mated) and let's talk. I do not have the games, but I think Pablo has them. He has even beaten Hydra at 60+0... Also on time. And he has done several draws in longer time controls with his playing system. What he shows to us is, that mankind can still find ways to beat the engines, there are enough backdoors left. They must just be discoverd. E.g. look at Kurt Utzingers games. Of course his tactics is not as extreme, but he also tries to close up the position. And with that he achieves several draws against almost all strong programs. As far as I know his Elo is also below 2000... Now you can make any conclusion out of that you want, but in fact I am pretty sure that chess engines are not yet as strong as one thinks. The only problem why they look so strong against humans is, that especially the strongest players have not tried yet systems like Kurt or Pablo use. Quit possible that they do not like that style. This might change when it gets financially interesting for them, so far they earn there money in games against humans and not against computers. Greets, Thomas
