I'm only commenting here, but I guess it'll start a war...
Has anyone else noticed that just when it seems you're well ahead in games, the "impossible" is done?
It seems that all of a sudden, the opponent produces a sequence of moves that appear beyond their level. I do however, accept that perhaps they did have some well planned moves in mind, it seems very unlikely that they happen so often.
Whilst it really makes no difference to me whether a player needs an engine or not, I'm happy to play chess and enjoy the game and good conversation. The use of an engine to win will always be a no-no with me, and many of my opponents will agree fully with this!!
Anyway, just the thoughts of a chess fan.
