Anthony C's Thoughts on the Zappa Mexico Issue

Post by AdminX »

"I have also seen a lot of "Why is Zappa losing in X rating list and winning in Mexico?" There are three answers there. One, Erdo is very good. Two, I think we have had a slight edge in luck in the match. Three, the timecontrol and hardware. Zappa is simply a deep analysis engine. Many of the best moves in game 7 were played only after 7-8 minutes of search on an 8-way computer. Or, we probably would have lost game 3 as it takes quite a while for Zappa to switch from Nd4 to Nxb8."
