Hi Uri
My experience show the contrary. When playing dynamic chess
the stronger players seldom accept even somewhat dubious
pawn sacrifices in cases where there seems to be some kind of
compensation (open lines, advance in development and so on).
And in sharper games it's always possible that the clearly
stronger player makes a fault too. I have learnt in the mean-
time that human chess over the board is very sensible to
many mistakes and often enough the winner is the player who
did not make the last mistake -:)
