Gary Kasparov said >"Chess is not skittle" perhaps instances like these is what he was referring to. >Cheers I disagree with you. Shuffling pieces is chess. If you claim that strong players can crush the system then it should be demonstrated by games against strong opponents(beating pablo is not a proof that the system does not work because there is a good chance that pablo will blunder against moves that open the position even if they do not win the game). Note that I do not claim to know if the strategy of pablo is good to get a draw but if you want to convince me that it is not good to get a draw you need to give games of players with similiar strength when one want a draw and use that strategy and fails to get the draw. In games I do not play against that strategy and do not play that strategy so I do not claim to know if that strategy is good to get a draw or not good. Uri
