Lecture on 2/9/21
Topic: Computer Moves
Explanation: The term “Computer Move” was introduced during recent years by streamers and fans who use chess engines to follow high-level chess on the Internet. After the computer shows them the best move in a given position, commentators start guessing whether the human player will play it. If this appears unlikely, the move is referred to as “Computer Move”. Examples from grandmaster games will be discussed.
