....has a pawn more at the endgame.

 What i see from these games and from recent games also, by looking not only the
results, is that the todays hardware and software is able to even outplay in
most cases the 2650-2720 GMs. And i guess that the battle with 2720+ GM's would
not be too much harder and results if not similar, would indicate an even
situation between comps and GMs.
  But the really suprising fact from Hydra-Adams and Bilbao games is that the
initiative that old times all GMs had when playing against the comps, is now at
the comps side most times. Are the GMs afraid to play risky, does the comps have
become so much better, the fact is these aforementioned GMs have been outplayed
with a bad way.......
