Subject: Kasparov vs the World: still looks drawish

Author: Baldomero Garcia, Jr.

Date: 01:14:55 08/22/99


I had Hiarcs 6.0 autoplay the current position of the game between Kasparov and
the world, and Hiarcs thinks it's a draw.  While Hiarcs's choices of moves may
not necessarily be the best, I think this is quite a unique endgame (Rook and
Bishop vs Knight and 4 pawns).
