in some types of positions the engines can exploit a static weakness very well due to their excellent heuristics, they exploit passed pawns, loose pieces etc

in some types of closed positions they find it hard to lock into a sequence due to several alternatives evaluating the same and end up shuffling pieces like rooks and bishops between one square and another

in some types of tactical complications even the very best engines suffer from a really strong horizon effect especially at shorter depths and require several hours of deep analyses often with sliding back and forth to find the right moves

some types of positions are engine busters and engines just lose their way but this is very very rare to get in a game and its usually a composed position (though from some posts at other website forums Fischer's games seem to have a lot of these positions)

He's top rate but will still work for scale.

That's "Kongish" for the basic grammatical form for the "pp" or "past participle."

So it would be too confusing for me to call you <pp>.

On to less serious matters, thanks for that fascinating information on THE EVILS OF CHESS, I was happy to learn of the possible historical background for that in the Islamic world.

I hope they don't eat me!

<Episode One: Robert McFadden>

http://www.nytimes.com/1992/06/29/u...

New York Times journalist <Robert McFadden's> obituary of Mikhail Tal:

According to McFadden,

<"Mr. Tal... occasionally played tournament or match games at his hospital bed, as he did once in the early 1960's with <<<Bobby Fischer,>>> the American who would later become world champion.">

Absolutely untrue. <Tal> never once "played" any or part of a Match or Tournament game from a hospital bed. I assume McFadden saw a photo of Bobby playing on a pocket set with Tal whilst Tal was in hospital at Curacao 1962.

<"[Tal]... crushed Mr. Botvinnik for the world championship by a score of 12 1/2 to 8 1/2, astounding the chess world. <<<Mr. Botvinnik>>> had held the championship for 12 years in one of the longest reigns in the game's history.">

Totally untrue. That "12 year reign" was interrupted by <Vassily Smyslov>. At the time he lost the Title Match to <Tal> in 1960, <Botvinnik> "had held the championship for 2 years."

No kidding, girl - I had tears running down my face. The blessing that you have bestowed upon this 53-year-old-man (my two daughters watched it with me) ... I simply do not have the words to (properly) express them.

Thank.you, from the bottom (and top!) of my heart - times one billion! - does not come close ... ... ...

I suspected you might also enjoy it. I recommend the entire film highly- two and a half hours of power and beauty.

All the documentation for the citations is in the email.

Let me know if the email didn't get through- sometimes on "first run" these emails get shuffled to the "spam box."

See mine. Can't say it in public ... other than that (maybe) you worry too much.

Take a bubble-bath, light a few scented candles ... and forget about all the silly stuff, OK?

Over half of the links in my Profile were found by fellow members who posted them in my forum.

Please feel free to post any Fischer link you find interesting in my house.

A stand off..He then used twitter ect.. for reinforcements. Pretty quickly he was not on his own..

They'e using this episode as an example of the power of the net in China.
