The stronger player always has an advantage but the advantage is smaller. The example in the endgame with sacrificing the bishop is example that I expect almost no player to do a mistake and I expect even intelligent beginner over the board to suspect that the opponent is not stupid to give him the bishop and to analyze some moves forward with the computer. I think that the positive thing from this article can be some interesting test positions for computers. Uri
