That's one of the reasons why I am not watching human WC. It is full of errors and blunders, engine themselves will never play.AdminX wrote:Very disgusted with the endgame play by Anand here.
It also shows what a true patzer Anand is, by throwing away a won game...

Re: Anand vs Topalov Game 9
That is exactly my point. According to all analysis, he was lost, yet, he kept playing and got half a point. Chess is a human game, not a computer's. The game is not over until there is a mate or one of the players resigns...
