I agree, but I consider this part of a players strength. Will he have the drive to win even when it means nothing. I think the better players like Kasparov and Anand have this drive. This is one advantage a chess program will always have over a human player, they always play to win, and never lose heart when down in a match. As seen in the DB Kasparov match not even the great Kasparov is immuen to the pressure that a non-feeling computer can put on you. >> >>What is your standard of winning convincingly?
