A mathematical proof would be too long and therefore too erraneous, I agree. And
if you mean that even Gary can miss a defense/attack idea then you're certainly
right too. But ( :)there's always a "but", huh?) looking at a position long
enough, we finally get the gist of it (hopefully; and Kasparov gets it much
earlier...).

Okay, okay, there is a chance that at the end we are wrong anyway but hey, in
this position I have the feeling that humans understand it by far better than
any program. Boy, this feels *really* good... ;)
