How do you know that the move cannot be found by any computer? I will never say something like that because I believe that every good move can be found by a program if the program is good enough to find it. There are moves that I do not know about computers who can find them(for example Shirov's move Bh3 but I cannot be sure that no computer can find it. I also cannot be sure that a move cannot be found by Zugzwang or by Deep blue because I cannot test these machines. I do not know why do you say even by Zugzwang cannot find the defensive moves because there is no evidence that Zugzwang is better than commercial programs. Uri
