Subject: Re: Bilbao Man-Machine; Why the draw games ended so early?

I think that the final positions in both games are completely equal.

In Khalifman-Hydra, the pawn structure is symmetric, and neither White nor Black
can create a passed pawn without exchanging many pawns. There was no reason to
continue playing.

Perhaps the game Kasimdzanov-Junior could have continued, although I don't agree
that White has an advantage, and I think it would be drawn later on.

Regards,
Christos.
