Here is what I consider the most interesting game ever played,

This next game is amazing!

From the game just above,
“In a room set aside for commentaries on the games in progress, two grandmasters were stating, for the benefit of the spectators, that Byrne had a won game. Byrne's reply to Fischer's next move must have been jaw dropping! -- Wade 21... Qd7 And White [ Byrne] resigns.”
Here is a game between
Albert Einstein vs Robert Oppenheimer

Great physicists but horrible chess players!
The debates here at Philosophy Now forums remind me of,

Bill,
I assume your post was related to my question in another thread. Why are men more interested in chess then woman are?

1....d5

Maybe not weinies. Let's assume we both have chess programs/computers at home, then remis?

Humans play differently then computers. Humans rely on pattern recognition. Computers on brute calculating strength. For example imagine a diagonal line of pawns. The pawn on a2 protects the pawn on b3 and b3 protects c4... A computer will form a decision tree that grows expotentionaly. A human knows immediately that if he eats the pawn on a2 the b3 pawn is unprotected... Computer aided games are easy to detect.
