I have watched many games where a computer simpl out-played a GM in an endgame. Years ago, no. But today? Computers don't play a weak endgame at all. They are surely stronger in the middlegame, but I don't know of anyone that would say they are weak in the endgame. "weaker"? Yes. "weak"? Not at all... -- Robert Hyatt Computer and Information Sciences hyatt@cis.uab.edu University of Alabama at Birmingham (205) 934-2213 115A Campbell Hall, UAB Station (205) 934-5473 FAX Birmingham, AL 35294-1170
