| hedgeh0g: Hmm...after 10...exd4 11. Nxd4, can't Black simply take the c-pawn with advantage? |

| dfelix: I remember watching this game live on ESPN. Maurice Ashley was one of the commentators, and at one point he said something like "The computer thinks it has an advantage. That's just retarded." |

| Once: Great anti-computer game. Kasparov builds his attack so slowly that the crunch point is always beyond the computer's ability to calculate. Fritz X3D was presented with so many alternatives on each move that it burned its computing power on millions of moves that were never played. But let's not get too excited about the perfect anti-computer strategy. This is not John Connor in the future about to smash skynet. This is a game played back in 2003, when the early hunter-killers had rubber skin. We spotted them easy. GMs would not get such an easy ride against modern chess engines. The programmers watched games like this and adjusted, tinkered, fiddled. They changed the engine's opening books, upgraded their understanding of closed positions, introduced the ability to make speculative sacrifices to open a position up to tactics. He doesn't feel pity or remorse. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. If Fritz X3D could have spoken in 2003, he might have said, in an Austrian Governor monotone "I'll be back". Or think a pregnant Sarah Connor in an open top jeep back before she went all muscly ... there's a storm coming. |

| lefthandsketch: in response to argishti- no, this is the greatest anti-computer game ever: Rybka v.s. Hikaru Nakamura 2008- six underpromotions and mate with 5 bishops. |

| sleepyirv: It's too bad computers don't know shame or Fritz might have given up chess after this. |

| SuperPatzer77: Holy Toledo!!! This computer (X3D Fritz) has finally resigned to a human being like Gary Kasparov. I thought almost all the chess computers would refuse to resign - LOL. Bravo, Kasparov!! Kasparov must have smiled at this computer because it resigns. Naturally, it is not premature. Kasparov creates powerful pressure on the Queen side. SuperPatzer77 |

Hikaru Nakamura 2008- six underpromotions and mate with 5 bishops. > <Lefthandsketch> Yeah, it is very interesting. I want to mention to you: Crafty (Computer) vs Hikaru Nakamura - ICC Blitz 2007 with five underpromotions and mate with six knights. It is awesome, <Lefthandsketch>, right? SuperPatzer77 |

| Once: <SuperPatzer77: I thought almost all the chess computers would refuse to resign - LOL.> More likely Fritz's operators decided that they had seen enough and resigned on behalf of the computer. Modern chess software can be made to resign early, later or never. Just tweak the settings. |

| Marmot PFL: No point in resigning here. Even the best human can blunder. |

| lefthandsketch: super patzer- I wanted to list that one too- I think it is something nakamura likes to do in blitz games with computers to further humiliate them. In any case, it's hilarious anti-computer absurdity. |

|
| SuperPatzer77: <Lefthandsketch> Yeah, that's awfully hilarious below: White King represents the British investigator Ichabod Crane. Six Black Knights represent the six headless horsemen in the scary town of Sleepy Hollow, England. LOL That's what I wrote in the game between Crafty (White) and Hikaru Nakamura (Black) - a hilarious commentary. SuperPatzer77 |

| WhiteRook48: How can the computer resign? |

|
| tatarch: This game was featured live in its entirety on ESPN-- the title of the program was "Man vs. Machine." ESPN tried to do move-by-move color commentary throughout, like you would hear for other sporting events. I remember thinking how hokey it sounded, since none of the commentators really understood what Kasparov was doing anyway. |

| jovack: game would have been much better if the computer was forced to play to the end. It's a computer, what does it care if it's going to lose eventually. |

| CalvinT: Kasparov made it look way too easy! I remember watching these games back ESPN, if only K could have one the match. |

| suplexer: Mr Kasparov dished out a well deserved life sentence on the machine known as 'fritz x 3d' |

| Colonel Mortimer: It's all about sending a Black trooper to f4 and getting a pawn break going on there - now how do you translate that into binary? |
