Nov-03-05  prinsallan: The poor computer messes it up early.
10. Bxf5 is just straihgt-down awful.
Feb-02-22  rwbean: 10. ♗xf5 is the best move, +2.4 ... which means that 9... c4 was a serious mistake - should have been 9... cxd4 or 9... ♘c6

11. ♕g3 g6 12. h4! ♗e6 13. a4 was the way ... and after 11. ♘e2? f4! White is always losing.

  MissScarlett: Would it be mean to run a computer analysis on this game?

  fredthebear: Mean is S.O.P. on this site. (Did you see my "Yo Mama" dumb jokes the other day? They made Jimmy Kimmel look like a saint.) Besides, computers are like Dr. Spock -- they have no emotions. What would it hurt?

Scientific research must be observed to advance human civilization, so punch those buttons, break those treaties, threaten, trespass, steal, exploit, expand those horizons, gain celebrity or make a euro, and call it PROGRESS no matter who gets hurt!

But WAIT -- before you do that -- you'd best recall Dante's Seven Deadly Sins: https://www.reference.com/world-vie...

Avarice, anyone?

Yes, and that's pretty much the equivalent of asking Stockfish to tear the play of one of its ancestors to pieces. Ponder on this:

Bronstein, who had a keen interest in computers and how to play against them knew what he was doing. It was a deliberate 'mistake.'

It was noted that (then) computers often went astray in blocked positions. So keep it tight and what ever do, do not get involved in a tactical melee. The chances are you will miss something and the computer, even in the 90's will never miss anything tactical.

Even as late as 2000 this flaw in commercial machines was being exploited.

see Alterman vs Deep Fritz, 2000 and the posts by ruylopez900.

"White's main objective is to keep all the pieces on the board, since the more pieces remaining on the board, the more calculations are required for the computer after each move, decreasing its ability to focus on the crucial lines.

The calculations become very complicated for the computer under such conditions."

These days of course the computers do not get caught out in these human anti-computer systems. (Occasionally It's the computer guided humans who get caught out with anti-computer play.)
