Not at all. I'm not saying it's evidence that he was using an engine. The point is it's not evidence he wasn't using an engine, which is how it was originally presented.

My apologies dottewell.
I intended to mean that IMHO the conclusions of Gatecrasher were flawed.

But it was Gatecrasher who made the point (or at least presented the evidence). I'm just accepting it.

That's why I've apologized to you 🙂
may be I'd quoted the post from Gatecrasher. Sorry.

True - but as Gatecrasher has shown, it seems that playing Qxd5 is consistent with engine use (at least use of the main engines). So this move isn't (as was originally supposed) evidence of flawed, human play.

This does, however, confirm my growing belief that Rybka is some sort of spooky chess genius. Particularly when you consider that I was analysing with the free beta version.

I think people are forgetting that I mentioned this particular game only as one I'm fairly sure nicohuyboom did not use an engine for; his play is far too human (i.e. flawed). I make no comment on any other games he played.

I wasn't aware of drawing any conlcusions. Only that Rybka's choices in the two presented positions differed from those of Fritz. If you were only to look at these two moves in isolation I don't believe you could draw any conclusions in respect of engine use, for or against.

Personally, I think Fritz's choices in these examples are more "human" than Rybka's. In the second position, I doubt that many humans could find Bf4 or would even want to...

I agree with that.
