Muller, Michail Tal played incorrectly, and hence brilliantly, and
won. He even gained the world champion title in that way. Petrosian
sacrificed the exchange in order to defend, and Spassky swept
grandmasters overboard already when the middle game had hardly begun.
Nothing of this can be derived from algorithms. A computer will
scarcely ever perform a Petrosianic form of exchange sacrifice. Not all
aspects of creativity are analyzable. It cannot be broken down into
algorithms. If that were the case then we would have programs who
created fine classical music. I didn't mention Joker80 or TJchess10x8.
I only expressed my view that computer games should be judged
according to other criteria also, not only how many points they score.
That is not a controversial standpoint at all. If you judge this
particular match as dazzling, then the losing party should get a point
or two for that. /Mats
