Chess Moves Computers Don't See?
Sort:
That is a beautiful game, but which move is it that computers miss? 24. Rxd4?

They miss the combination after cxd4. They evaluate cxd4 as the best line, but instead it is just losing. Kb6 should end in a draw.
@Bondiggity - My computer found Kb6 after less than a minute. At this day and age I don't think a computer can miss any move with tactical value, only some positional moves.
Hmm, very interesting. I will analyze with Fritz when I get home. I hope to see more responses! I love that human creativity and deep positional insight can still prevail over the brute force calculation of a chess engine.
Cool puzzle, I got the solution but my computer didn't. I realized that the blind spot of an engine lies in the 50 move rule. No computer can analyze even close to a 50 move depth, so they can't see draws due to a lack of progress. That's why your puzzle works, Estragon.
Hi all,
I was searching online for a list or analysis of brilliant moves that computers don't see. I know some exist from GM games, but can't seem to find any via search engines.
Any links, diagrams, etc. are much appreciated. Or simply list the move, providing you also note the date, location, and players for easy reference.
Thanks!
