Doesn't technology destroy it?<br /><br />Imagine what would happen. The players who will do best in the new position will be the ones that can afford the subscription to the ChessBase LiveBook and have the best memory recall.<br /><br />Isn't chess already technology and memory intensive enough???? <br /><br />I hope that Chessbase do not bribe Kasparov into promoting the one extra position idea, I don't trust Kasparov and certainly not Chessbase who have a monopoly in that technology.<br /><br />All the best.HarryOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971894954907592580noreply@blogger.com
