They are coming.....computers are showing that the ability to think 20 moves
ahead isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Get ready for terms like "White has a molecular advantage" or "the endgame
appears won in 39-40 moves.

Also get ready for "White's novelty with 46 g8=N has flipped the opinion of
this opening line."

Or: "Black invigorates an old opening with a new idea as he plays
26...Bc2."

The chess computers are expanding each phase of the game. The opening is
now 30-40 moves, the middlegame from move 40-80, and endgames can run well
past 100 moves now.

Many "solved" endgames are anything but.

Is this just a lame troll, or do you have a point? And do you really
thing that posting this to rec.games.chess.politics makes a damn bit of
sense?
