Authors comment

It's very difficult to amuse pro chess players, because they know about chess everything - or almost everything. But on the test game, me, an amator, showed them something, they have not seen. The idea was simple and pure chess - to win as soon as possible. Postion after 14th move, 8 moves to make, and play it live with computer. No master could handle it, and even chess software Fritz either. Hard to believe. But I say more - even Deep Blue couldn't handle it. Why? When You see game, you will see for yourself. I think, that this game it's a precursor of new part of chess concept thinking, maybe a chess logic of XXII century, to difficult for today computers. Evaluation of the game I leave to fellow chessplayers.
