Give me Tigran Petrosian

I wonder what it would be like if Petrosian in his prime were alive
today to play these machines. It would have been very interesting.


Hard to say. I like Petrosian a lot but his style can be caricatured
as `Wait 'til the other guy makes a mistake, then kill him. If he
doesn't make a mistake, agree a draw.' I'm not sure computers make
enough mistakes for this strategy to be effective.
