Here is very interesting and i suppose famous game, played By Boris Alterman v
Deep Fritz, the position was reached as below.



Indeed , perhaps these closed stonewall type games, may be an excellent choice
to use against computers and by extension, correspondence play.

here is the full game for those who may be interested.



I think the move 10...Nxe2 is a very strange and computer like move,
for which human would exchange a bishop for a knight in such a closed position?

It really pays to play through the game, as the position makes far more sense when you arrive at it from move 1. Each move makes sense individually, and the progression gives the game a much more organic feeling and flow than the diagram does. Very nice!

it's like the 101 of playing the ending up in material. keep taking more space, walk the king up, and eventually it'll all end up in zugzwang.
