No, I needed to rule out a computers raw caculating ability for it to be a true
chess sac. Kasparov did not use only raw calculating skills to come to his
conclusions when he sacced, were calculating fell short he made up for it with
instinct, a gut feeling, he came across the conclusion in a different way than a
program would've so it was a sac to Kasparov but to a program it was true
calculation.
