Like GM Michael Tal in 1958. Actually, he played endgames that way: sacrificing
pawns and asking for storms; when it broke out the opponent vessel was a wreck,
not his! Again congratulations to Vasik; his is the first programme which ever
played strong human chess on CC arena. It's very good that a strong positional
(and combinatory) chess engine appears in computer chess.
