Can a computer play like a human? It is a very interesting question. They
are certainly very good helpers. I use "fritz" (chess playing program) to
analyse the games. While analysing this game I found that my evaluation of
the game is completely different from Fritz's. Another very interesting point
of this game is that it illustrates that a bishop is not always the same value
as a knight. 1.d4 c6 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nf3 d6 4.g3 g6 5.Bg2 Bg7 6.Nc3 0-0 7.0-0
Na6 8.e4 Bg4 9.Qb3 [9.h3 Book recommends h3 with white trying to get some
more space. The game Michel Saucey (2319)- Antonio Antunes (2496) played in
2000 followed 9...Bxf3 10.Bxf3 Nc7 11.Be3 Nd7 12.Bg2 e5 13.f4 f6 14.dxe5 dxe5

22.Rxd7 White won on move 43] 9...Bxf3 10.Bxf3 Rb8 11.Be3 Nd7 12.Qa3 Qb6
13.e5! An interesting move. White has two bishops so they are trying to
open up the position. e5 looks a little bit risky as the pawn on e5 could
be weak. 13...Qb4!? [13...dxe5 Trying to play against the weak e5 pawn.
14.dxe5 c5 (14...Qb4) 15.Nd5 Qe6 16.Bf4 Nxe5 17.Rfe1 White has compensation
for the pawn.] 14.exd6 Qxa3 15.bxa3 exd6 16.Ne4 c5! The computer prefers
d5. I think the move played in the game is better because it forces swapping
black - squared bishops off the board. After that black will have two knights
versus knight and a bad white bishop. Even if black loses the d6 pawn the
pawn structure (double pawns a2 and a3 and c5 square for a black knight) should
give black a small advantage. Unless white has some concrete moves black will
be better. Do you think a can computer understand this? 17.Rad1 cxd4 18.Bxd4
Bxd4 19.Rxd4 Ne5 20.Be2 Rfd8 21.f4 Nc6 22.Rxd6 Rxd6 23.Nxd6 Nd4 24.Bd1 Nc5
25.Re1?! [25.Nb5! Trying to improve the pawn structure.] 25...Rd8 26.Re5
b6 27.Rd5 Nc6 28.Nb5 Re8 29.Rd6 Na5 30.Bb3 Re7 31.Nd4 f5! Stoping white
playing f5 and insuring that black will have a good square for their knight.
32.Kf1 Ne4 33.Rd8+ Kg7 34.Nf3 Rc7 35.Ne5 Nc5 36.Bc2 Nc6 37.Rd6 Nxe5!
Now the weak pawn on e5 and superiority of black's knight over the bishop
gives black a winning edge. 38.fxe5 Kf7 39.Bb3 Re7 40.Rd5 Ke6 41.a4 Rd7
