In some position any player human or computer will misjudge the position, this happens to GM Kasparov at times, but computers programs make the correct position judgement. This does not make me say Kasparov has a bad grasp of positional chess. For Hiarcs7 most of the time then not it understands the positional aspect of a position, and does so more times then most programs. So I can not disagree with the Fide Master. > >If yermo find the way to lead Hiarcs7 to these positions then he can win >convincingly. That is where the skill of Yermo comes in...to find a way. Will a 2600 GM have the skill to win convincingly against a top program. My guess is no.. What is your standard of winning convincingly? I think anything over 4 points for the GM is winning convincingly. > >Uri
