No one else was able to reproduce that without a 24+ hour search. I don't remember (now) where it came out of book, I do recall that the operator was very nervous and was glad to see the big + eval. > >I want to know if the humans who won programs in the same opening used the same >moves of kasparov when the program was the first side to play different. one did, including the odd queen move that Karpov's book (I think karpov wrote it am not sure) said was one of two reasonable tries but didn't quite measure up. > >If the humans who won after Nxe6 did not play the same as kasparov then the >games prove nothing. > ><snipped> >>In any case, DB made it look easy, but it wasn't.
